The NRRL brought 26 runners to the Georgetown Father's Day 8k and once again the NRRL runners put in a very strong showing in the overall results, placing eight runners in the top-50 OA out of 200+ participants. The flat and fast course is one of the first twilight races of the year and therefore has the makings of a standout annual event to look forward to!
This was the 4th
race (out of 10) in the 2012 season, and DC Running Coach, LLC won its 3rd
race of the year, holding its top spot in the team rankings. Every other team has proven itself a
formidable foe, as each team has several runners who crack the top-10 in NRRL
rankings each race. CAN, AWL, and
Kinetic Fitness are currently within striking distance.
Evolution and CAN are
dominating the women's individual NRRL rankings, each team having 3 runners in
the top-8. Elissa Sosland is the
only runner to have run in each race and she leads the pack as she is running
well. Susannah Still and Rebekah
Eubanks are chasing in the 2nd and 3rd places, respectively. At the Father's Day 8k, Faith Korbel
won her 2nd race, Melani Hom podium-finished for the second time, as
did Natalie Allgeier.
In the men's individual
NRRL rankings, Memo Saenz of Evolution is the lone 4-race finisher and he leads
the men, representing Evolution.
Barry Holman and Tyler Howell round out the podium places, with Holman
proving very consistent over 3 races thus far. The men's rankings are wide open at this point. Taylor Williamson won the Gtown 8k in
the NRRL scoring, doing AWL proud once again. Steven Leibowitz took 2nd place, moving up in the
overall standings, and DCRC captain Max Huffman took 3rd in his
first NRRL race of the year.
The team and individual rankings are updated on the NRRL results page. The next race is the Midsummer Night's Mile, a fast and
furious track race, the first one for NRRL! Dust off your track spikes and test your true grit on July 6th!
Hope to see you at the
track!
Mike
