5 K Winter Series
The first overall runner was Joseph Rooney, 24, who
finished in 19:26. Rooney’s time placed him comfortably
ahead of Brian Berlew, 34 (21:20), and Joe Lundberg,
13 (21:48). Youth also trumped age in the Female
category as Kerry Dyke, 14 (below), won in 23:41, with
breathing room between her and 2nd place Patricia
Masciagna, 27 (24:57), followed by 3rd place Michelle
Gunther, 42 (25:17). Winners are pictured below:
January 2, 9, 16, 23, 30
The late December snow dumped yard-deep snow on
our race course, causing the cancellation of our January
2nd season opener.
Several follow-up storms in
January again masked the course with wintry mixes of
snow, sleet, freezing rain, and ice, making the scenic
bike trail portion of our course unusable the entire
month. Successful races were put on the final four
Sundays of the month as Race Directors Isabel Meldrum
and Walter Rutsky brought in club officers and attracted
many other dedicated regular and new volunteers.
Equally important, many talented and motivated runners
and race walkers of all ages came out to brave subfreezing conditions to challenge themselves and their
competitors. Long-time club members and veteran
competitor (formerly Freehold regional mile record
holder and state runner-up, Hal Smith, aptly wrote to the
web-site: “Thanks to [FARC] who gave us the incentive
to keep moving during this terrible winter”!
Isabel Meldrum’s post-race chicken soup was plentiful,
hot, and delicious. Also delicious were Marty Slutzky’s
sweet treats, and runner’s fuel from Dunkin’ Donuts.
Race awards were distinctive, and the awards ceremony
as well as the post-race brunch and camaraderie kept all
in attendance warm each Sunday morning.
Joe Rooney
Kerry Dyke
Top race-walkers were Ray Robertson (34:56) and
Panse Geer (36:32) in the men’s and woman’s divisions.
Seventy-four (74) runners and race-walkers completed
the 5-Kilometer race, which had to follow an alternate
course all Series, due to an un-navigable snow- and icecovered bike trail. Complete results are on farcnj.com.

On the order of three (3) feet of snow Dec. 26, 2010 led
to rare cancellation of the Winter Series season-opener.
January 16, 2011
Fully a month before the groundhog did NOT see his
shadow, thereby bringing the end of this murderously
intense winter into welcome sight, FARC members and
runners were no doubt trying to figure out how to get to
the races, and if they would even be held. Many club
members were hard-pressed even to be able to run, as
snow- and ice-clearing, salting, & preventing or trying to
deal with ice dams, as well as just trying to get to the
store for supplies, much less find a parking spot, while
trying to maintain feeling in one’s fingers and toes had
to take priority for many FARC members. But, if you
have cleats or good footing, running was a great way to
stay warm.[Admittedly, the editor was relaxing in Florida]
A youth movement was in full stride as Robert Pedersen,
Jr., 12 won the 2nd race overall in 20:01, besting relative
“old-timers”, Elias Wetzel, 35 (20:25) and Scott Linnell,
54 (20:43). Three of the top six overall finishers were
under age 15 as Joe Lundberg (still 13) and Billy Foster
(14) were neck-and-neck at 21:26 and 21:27. The top
female athletes were hot-on-the-heels of these top male

...runners, with Christa Strychenz, 17 (21:32) and
Meagan Drapkin, 26 (21:38) leading Kerry Dyke (22:58)
across the finishing line. John Frederick (32:28) and
Panse Geer (33:57) won the men’s/overall and women’s
race-walk divisions. One-hundred and thirty eight (138)
runners and race-walkers completed the 5-Kilometer
race, which followed alternate courses all Series, due to
the snow and ice on the bike trail including high piles of
snow along the road where the bike trail meets the road.
January 23, 2011
Male winner Jonathan Rohl, 31, rolled to an 18 second
win in 18:02, ahead of Jeff Angelini, 25 (18:20) and
Steve Ziegler, 24 (18:44) was third in a strong six-minute
per mile pace. On the gals’ side, the 1st and 3rd place
Strychenz sisters, Christa (20:41) and Larissa (22:49)
were 7th and 18th overall, sandwiched around the
second place woman, Tara Fasch (31), 22:05. Nationalclass race-walker John Soucheck, 45 (26:36), who
finished very high up in the last Olympic Trials (2008)
participated and on this day was well ahead of the rest of
the field in his division. Legendary coach Bill Welsh,
who has coached champions in high school and CUNY
College, Staten Island, was second among runners in
the 80+ age group. Eighty-eight (88) runners and racewalkers registered for the 5-Kilometer, which was run on
a three-loop course during the last two weeks of the
series due to ice in the back half of Michael Tighe Park
as well as on the bike trail portion.
Top Area Race Walker
Male winner was William (“Will-he”) Finish, (30-39) in
17:54, ahead of Michael Sing (30-39) at 18:08, and Brian
DaSailva (<15) at 19:04. On the girls’ side of the ledger,
the 1st and 3rd place Strychenz sisters, Christa (20:18)
and Larissa (21:37) were 12th
and 20th overall,
sandwiched around the second place woman, Courtney
Thompson (<15), finished in 20:19. John Soucheck, 45
(25:39) and Donna Cetrulo (60-69) were the week’s
men’s and women’s race-walk division winners. Onehundred-and-twenty-three (123) runners registered for
this finale 5-Kilometer race of the season.
Who says athletes cannot continue improving in their
70s and 80s? While there were many fine performances
in this Winter Series, the accomplishments of two
distinguished long-time FARC members are highlighted
here: 70-79 age group winner, Ralph Garfield, 75
(26:16, 25:37, 24:45, 23:58) and 80+ age group winner,
Hal Smith, 81 (45:33, 44:19, 42:53, 42:43) both
improved from week-to-week-to-week-to-week! These
two active young-at-heart, mind, and body gentlemen
are certainly trend setters with few peers in sight!

RAt the 26th Annual Born to Run 5 Miler, 659 runners ran
“There were three of us running together for maybe the first
mile but after that I was alone to the finish,” said Dixon in
describing his championship performance. “I liked it a lot:
there were challenging hills and a lot of crowd support
especially at the finish-line area,” he said of the course and
of the weather: “It was great for running.”
through the streets of Freehold the day after Thanksgiving
to burn off some holiday calories. Many athletes believed
this was an even better value than the also-popular Black
Friday activities. Overall winners were Michael Dixon
(setting a course record in 26:23) and Lindsey Gallo
(29:26), with first FARC member Robby Murphy at 31:21.
Lindsey Gallo is first across the line for women.
For the third year in a row, Lindsey Gallo, 28, of Arlington,
VA, was the women’s champion of this 5 mile race in a time
of 29:26 (7th place overall). Alison Pilkington, 28, Red Bank,
was second woman at 31:18 (14th overall) and Marlboro’s
Jenna Jensen, 25, came third at 31:31 (16th overall).

FEATURE BORN TO RUN RESULTS ARTICLE:
Written by Jim Robbins Saturday, Nov. 27, 2010
“My time was a little slower than last year’s but maybe
that’s because I ate more turkey this year,” Gallo said when
asked to compare and when reminded that in a five-mile
race, according to The Runner’s Handbook by Bob Glover a
runner will lose 500 calories, she said, “maybe I’ll go home
now and have some well-earned pumpkin pie.” When
asked if she’d be running the Born to Run next year, the
University of Maryland graduate student who’s studying for
a doctorate degree in accounting said, “As long as my
parents continue to live in Freehold, I’ll be home for a
Thanksgiving visit and will participate.”
The nation might think of the day after Thanksgiving mainly
as Black Friday but there were 659 road racers whose first
concern, on this overcast, breezy, mid-40’s morning of the
26th of November, was to be competing in the annual Born
to Run five-mile race presented at the Monmouth County
seat of Freehold. The title of this event has a connection to
Bruce Springsteen, famous American songwriter, singer
and guitarist, who was raised in Freehold and has an album
by that name: Born to Run.

“I really like this course a lot - it has challenging hills and it
offers a taste of cross-country and a taste of road running,
so we get both,” said Ann O’Dowd, 48, of Colts Neck who
finished at 35:42, a very respectable 7:09 per-mile pace.
She informed that she had raced the Philadelphia Marathon
(26.2 miles) on Sunday so “whatever my time was today,
I’m satisfied with it and just glad to finish.” She thought the
weather was “a bit windy but overall good for running.”

Dogs at a race may be a hazard to runners, children and spectators. We also cannot have runners in
costumes as this is a hazard to other runners and a safety issue that our insurance company will not cover
these situations. We ask for your cooperation!! Thank You.
