THE SEDALIA HALF MARATHON – MARCH 23, 2003

 

A RECORD CROWD – 171 FINISHERS!

 

AGE RECORDS SET BY BOBBY WILLIAMS (50+), KENT LANG (40+)

 

It was a beautiful day for spectating. The skies were cloudless and the sun was shinning brightly.  The temperature at the start was in the mid 50’s and was in the low 60’s at the finish.  The unseasonable warmth caused some distress but most were not about to complain about this beautiful spring day.  Wayne Strohman was a late entry and took control early by surging to a 20 yard lead by the mile marker.  Nate Stroot and Christian Reed ran valiantly in chase but could never make up any distance on Strohman anywhere along the 13.1 mile route.  Kent Lang, masters champion in 1:13:10, finished 4th overall and broke Charles Brandon 1997 masters record by exactly one minute.  Eight overall was St. Louisan Bobby Williams as his 1:17:12, shattered Rick Hogan’s age record, set in 1999, by almost 4 minutes.  Bobby is one of the best in his age group in the Midwest and he narrowly missed the state residence record by a mere 7 seconds!  He and two of his friends road-tripped to Sedalia based on our course’s repetition for being fast.  We only wished we could have found him 7 more seconds…

 

The Women’s race was no contest as Cindy Cameron won by over six minutes in 1:25:48.  Cindy hasn’t race much as of late and is returning to elite form after a couple of years on maternity leave.  Second overall, and a regular at the SHM, was Shari Woiwood.  Shari was also the master’s division winner.

 

Because of the warm conditions, the aid stations were very active.  A BIG Thank you to the following volunteers who handed out the water.  Kudos go to Paul Gieringer, Glen Costales and Terry Harms who handled the 2.9/11.1 aid station:  Jeff Barnes and family at the 4.9/9.1 aid station and to the Herb Mittelhauser/Julie Mills clan at the turn around station.  Also, Robin Lang handled cooking, timing and registration duties.  Mona Williams helped in registration and in the finish line. Rod Williams helped with results.  Ray Cook also volunteered at the last minute to help in the finish line.  Nothing could have happened without these people!!!

 

We appreciate each and every one of our runners.  And here is a thank you to all of those who ran with us and made this our biggest race ever.  KENT & ROBIN LANG
