Temps were in the 50s with some low clouds, but the clouds gave way to sunshine. There were lots of youngsters today. Many were middle school runners from The Classical Academy (TCA). The girls team from TCA High School is ranked ninth in the nation, and they do a very good job of getting the younger runners interested in their program. This month's most improved runner was Val Purswell, who was 2:48 under her handicap. Congratulations, Val. We'll get a shirt to you next time. The yearly Nielson Challenge winner is still wide open. There are 2 months left in the yearly cycle, and we've had 10 different winners the past 10 months. So if any of those 10 win in the next 2 months, they'll take the yearly award. We'll see you again in October. Volunteers Al Grimme Pat Lockhart Dave Sorenson Bob Royse Heather Evans Mike Shafai Dianna Shafai Jim Kelleher Luci Stansberry EON Studios (shirt donation)
