Seven teams participated in this year's Two-Person Relay. This race has a unique format where the two team members alternate running every 400 meters through a total distance of 8K. The race was held at the Hickman track on a sunny Saturday morning. Men and women of all ages participated. Marc Keys and Tom Collier were the winning team with a time of 26:53. The youngest team included two eight year olds, Jonas McBride and Cole Johnson of Paris. Stacy Reed and Karla Lang were the top female team. Chocolate bunnies and chocolate eggs were given as prizes commemorating the Easter weekend. Complete results are listed below. The Two-Person Relay is a good event for couples with children but still enjoy participating in running events. The track setting allows the children to play on the infield while the parents take turns running. The Heinrichs demonstrated this as they competed while four of their children cheered them on. Married couples who have a difficult time finding track club events to participate in together, may want to consider running in this race next year. Thanks to Barb Sattler and Curt Kempf for helping with the race.
