MAUSATF Events on Saturday:
Wissahickon 10K Trail Classic (://wissahickonrestorationvolunteers.org/index.php/wtc_site/wtc/wissahickon_trail_classic/) and the Scott Coffee Moorestown Rotary Run 5 Miler (http://www.runningintheusa.com/moorestown/). The coordinators haven’t put out any desperate calls for runners, so perhaps the club has a full complement for each race, but consider doing one.

Local Race Results
Club member Mark Vilardo set a new stte 35-39 age group record for 10K at the Helathy Kidney 10K in New York City on May 15 with a time of 32:34. He bested the time of former club member Bob Hempton, whose 32:43 had stood since 1984.
Lynn Knothe was overall female winner of the Kid Kickin’ Cancer 5K with a time of 20:16 on a humid, 86 degree evening. Kelly Horowitz was second female with 20:39.
At the Cougar Classic 5K for Blue Gold at Delcastle High School Dirk Sweigart was 3rd overall male with a time of 19:48 and Theresa Kauffman was overall female winner in 20:55. On a certified course Dirk would have had a PR and Theresa might have run her best time in her current age-group.
But resident club metronome Ralph McKinney suspected a short course when he ran a faster time on this somewhat rolling course than he had run recently on the Christina Riverfront. Discussion ensued between director Chip Bixler and the principal who had measured the course. It appears the course was only a tad over three miles long.
Kelly Horowitz was second overall female at the Kay’s Kamp 5K in 20:20.
Chris James was second overall male at the Run for the Ages 5K in 19:28.
At the Rusty Rudder 5K, the following club members were top placers:
Mark Vilardo, overall winner, 16:07; Greg Cauller, 3rd overall and 1st 50-54, 17:31; and Lynn Knothe, second overall female and 1st 30-34, 19:45.
