PCVRC Annual Summer Barbecue
WHEN: August 10th @ 3:00 p.m.
WHERE: White Clay Creek State Park
RSVP:
From Rachel:
Well summer has officially started, which means it’s time to mark your calendars for PCVRC’s Annual Summer BBQ on Sunday, August 10th @ 3:00 pm. This year I’d like to ask for RSVPs by Wednesday, August 6th, to so that I can ensure we have a enough food for everyone. Along with your RSVP please provide what side dish/dessert you are going to bring. Last year we had a ton of cookies, so I thought getting an idea of what people plan to bring will cut down on having too much of one food item.
As always the club will be providing the hamburgers, hotdogs, beer, soda and water for all club members, but we ask that non-club members who would like to attend contribute a small donation toward the club.
You can visit this website for directions and information about the park – Remember there is a fee for entering the park, so feel free to carpool!
I know summer can be busy, but I hope that you’ll be able to join us!

Race Results, Reviews and Accomplishments:
Had some good results this week and fun pictures!
Kelly Jones was the first Masters female in the Highway One Group 5k last Saturday, finishing in 23:23.8!
Andy Jakubowitch continues to live up to his nickname of Pokey. He was the first in his age group in the Highway One Group 5k last Saturday, finishing in l7:44.0! Erin Graves was the 2nd overall female, finishing in 21:14.9. Great job you two!
Dan Feeney won the Delaware KIDS Fund 5k in Wilmington in a blazing fast 15:58.6!

Matt Cutrona, for the 2nd year in a row, won the KIDS Fund 5k raffle for a hotel stay in Dewey Beach. Next year sheriff’s deputies will be hired to watch the raffle box to prevent this obvious vote-rigging! Congratulations Matt!

Calling all XC runners:
Looking ahead on the 2014 USATF calendar we have a unique opportunity to participate in the USATF Club National Cross Country Championships this fall. This is an annual event that rotates locations around the US. This year the XC championships will be hosted by our local Mid Atlantic USATF organization at the Lehigh University cross country course on 12/13/14. The scoring is standard cross country format (order of finish) counting the finish place of the top 5 runners from each club. Races will be scored in 10 year age groups. I hope to build upon the fun and success our men’s 50 yr. old team had last year at the USATF Masters XC championships. We want to support men’s and women’s teams in the 40 and 50 year old competitions. We need a minimum of 5 in each age group to participate as a team. (I would love to field open teams (under 40) as well!)
Looking to hear from all the harriers out there soon!
