Since 1932!

A few of you may have noticed that a few places where Shore AC appears, a change has begun taking place, our slogan, "Promoting the Olympic Sport of Track and Field Since 1934" has started to show up with the date 1932. This is not an error. In reviewing some scrapbooks the club maintains, a 1946 reference by Art Wisner was found noting the club was founded in 1932. Because of this, a vote was held at the October 2006 Shore AC board meeting, and it was resolved that we would change the date to 1932. Thus, we now say, "Promoting the Olympic Sport of Track and Field Since 1932."

Thank you all for a great X-C season. The team race was really close this year. The Sandy Hookers re-emerged as a very strong team and it was good to see them win the overall championship. The Green’s Pond Harriers were a close second
(both teams had 3 wins, but Sandy Hook had better placing throughout the six race series). Hoboken, last year’s champs, were strong in third just ahead of Shore AC.
Jersey Shore Running Club was right behind and Freehold Area Running Club keeps improving in this tough field. I hope all the teams come back in 2007 and try again for the Woodland Elf Trophy.

I would like to give special thanks to Scott and Colleen York. They expertly worked the sign-in, start, finish, timing, and place recording. Without them the races wouldn’t have happened. Thanks to Jill Evarts for her assistance in marking the courses. And to Peter Avakian for his suggestions on course design. Thanks to Katherine Bazley for typing results and to Lisa Bazley who answers my email. Also, to Ali Belicose who was injured this year but was a big help at the finish line. Thanks to the Shore Athletic Club for their sponsorship and use of their timing equipment. Also, thanks to the Monmouth County Parks System for the use of their parks.

We have some great plans for next year (I was out this morning scouting a new course).
Wishing you all a joyous holiday season and a healthy and happy New Year. I look forward to seeing you next Fall.
