Two-Person Relay April 7, 2001

Despite the blustery conditions, the 2 person teams posted excellent times for the five-mile relay at Hickman track. The winning team was the father-daughter pair of Ken and Katie Gilbert (otherwise known as "me" and "mini-me") who were in Columbia to watch the MU track meet. The other participants had equally busy schedules. Jon Weekley and Alexander Cook, a pair of hearty 13-year olds, burned up the track then hurried off to participate in other sports activities that day. J.P. Palmer and Shannon Standridge used the relay as a warm-up before a bike ride to Hatton and back. Special thanks go to Don and Ingrid Ballenger for timing. They can always be counted on to help out. The results were:

1 Ken Gilbert
Katie Gilbert

2 Jon Weekley
