Short Weekend

While normal weekends see results pile up from 50 mile and 100 mile races, this past weekend, September 27 saw just two 5K races.

In Bluefield, WV, Nick Whited (Raven, VA) ran the 3^rd annual Brian Delp Memorial 5K.  After climbing the hill inside the first mile of the course, Nick found himself running alone against the clock over the hilly road course.  Nick finished strong over the last half mile which was slightly downhill, running to a time of 17:24, good for a win by over 30 seconds.  It was Nick’s third time winning the race which is held in memory of Brian A. Delp, a Bluefield State College student-athlete who lost his life while assisting a stranded motorist in 2002.

Meanwhile, in Richmond, VA, Dalton Kuhar (Fuqua School, Farmville, VA) was at Maymont Park running the McDonalds Maymont Cross Country Invitational.  Over a deceptively hilly course Dalton finished a strong second in the Private School division with a time of 21:28.
