Our 3-month string of 100+ participants was broken, but we still had 85 runners participate in the October Nielson Challenge. Maybe it was the wind that kept some away. Mike Porter was our most improved runner of month, running 1:44 less than his handicap time. Mike ran off before we could give a shirt to him, but we'll catch him next month. Congrats, Mike! There is only one more month left in the yearly Nielson award competition. Dean Buck still leads this with 2 wins over the past 11 months. If Dean is to be beaten, one of the previous winners will need to win in November. Thus come and join us on the 1st Saturday in November to see who will run away with the yearly Nielson award.
