Looking Back:
25 Years Ago
President’s
Letter
By Joe Duncan
April 26, 1986 — Human Race VIII 10K: The first five
Human Races had more than 1,000 finishers, followed by 707
for VI and 585 for VII. With such a precipitous drop in
numbers, for VIII we created an easier course and charged no
entry fee. Didn‘t help. We had 556 finishers. For all the 20 or
so Human Races thereafter we never got more than 500
finishers. In fact, the numbers quickly got well below 100
even after changing the distance to five miles. We never
really understood why such a drop-off, but the event was
discontinued a couple of years ago.
Anyway, there were some fine performances in ‘86. Jim
Heady & Jeff Dick staged a stirring duel with Heady
prevailing at 31:57, one second ahead of Dick. Steve S-F led
CTC runners at 33:31. Don Lewis, having recently turned
50, got a 50-59 CTC record with a scintillating 36:58, ahead
of all the 40-year-olds. Others: Tom LaFontaine 35:55, Bob
O‘Connell 36:15, Marvin Odneal 37:58, Dick Hessler 37:58,
Ben Londeree 39:45, Mike Walther 39:46, Tom Allen 40:50,
Whitney Hicks 40:57, Newell Kitchen 42:40, Fred Fritsch
45:15. Amy Johns was first female with 38:30, then Debbie
Hoxworth 40:30. Linda Robbins (still) had 44:50, Betty
Bohon 48:24, Angela Hessler, 13, 49:32, Nancy Fritsch 55:18.
May 17, 1986 — 3, 2, 1 Triathlon: Tom Coon totaled 33:23
(3-16:53, 2-11:05, 1-5:25) to win, followed by LaFontaine
(17:26, 11:16, 5:32), Walther (19:01, 12:37, 5:23), Allen 19:17,
12:47, 5:59), and 6 others.
Then on May 30, 1986 a Sprint Triathlon — 1500, 800 &
400: Dennis Stewart, who dominated CTC “sprint” races for
more than 20 years, in ’86 at age 37 he did a 4:02 1500, 2:00
800 & a 54.3 400, totaling 6:56.3, edging Rob Carney’s 6:59
(4:00, 2:04, :55). Wesley Paul, now 17, had 4:24, 2:06, :58,
Peter Hessler, 16, 4:34, 2:14, :61, Don Lewis, still 50, 4:37,
2:21, :64.5, all records, Dick Hessler 5:03, 2:30, :69, Joe
Duncan, 52, 5:21, 2:46, :70, Tom Allen 5:19, 2:48,

CTC NEWSLETTER EDITORS:
Whitney Dreier: 703-638-0952 [email protected]
Linda LaFontaine: [email protected]
CTC publishes a newsletter eight times per year.
Did you know the
summer youth program
started in 1974? And it is
still only $1 for all five
weeks? The Columbia
Track Club has a long
history of serving the
youth in our community
through the summer
youth program, Colts
cross country, and the
Bill Stolz
CTC scholarship fund. I
want to take the time this
month to recognize all the volunteers that make the
summer program so special! This year we have been
very fortunate to have an abundance of volunteers
and beautiful weather. The volunteers do everything
from registration to timing to raking the long jump
pit. If you haven‘t had the opportunity to participate,
mark your calendar for June 2012. It is a great
experience to see so many young people running,
jumping, and having fun. Thank you to everyone
involved!!!
Speaking of young members, I want to congratulate
the four CTC scholarship recipients this year: Adelyn
Myers, Erin Occena, Grady Harrington, and Griffin
Humphreys. In late May, I had the opportunity to
represent CTC at the Rock Bridge High School
senior award ceremony, where I presented
scholarships to Grady and Griffin. Dick Hessler had the
opportunity to do the same for our Hickman recipients,
Adelyn and Erin. It was a great chance to promote CTC and
to assist young members as they move on to college. We
should all be proud of the good things we do as a club! If you
are interested in donating to the summer youth program,
Colts, or the scholarship fund, please contact me or our
treasurer, Tom Allen.
As always, if you have questions or comments, have an
idea for a club social, or simply want to go for a run, give me a
call or send me an email.
See you on the starting line!

Date of Birth: November 26, 1972
Columbia Track Member since: 2010
How long have you been running? I‘ve run off-and-on
since 1988 when I was a sophomore wrestler in high
school, and my coach made the team train for and
complete a 15K race. I continued to run a little bit in
college and into my mid-to-late 20s but never really hit
my stride until 2007 when I started running to lose
weight. For the past four years, I‘ve run on a regular
basis. I‘m not fast but I‘m decent at the slow and steady
endurance level.
Greatest running influences? My greatest running
influence is the state of mind that comes from putting
one foot in front of the other. Wanting to quit is not
uncommon, but navigating the mental and physical
fatigue feels good. Running clears my mind and delivers
contentment I don‘t find elsewhere. One day I won‘t be
able to run – until then, ‗Ever forward, never backward‘
is a mantra I try to follow. Externally, Christopher
McDougall‘s book, Born to Run, is a motivating force,
too. Long live Caballo Blanco!
Weekly mileage: On the low end, I average 12 miles a
week. On the high end, I average 30 miles a week.
What is your favorite workout and/or race? My
favorite race was the 2009 GO! St. Louis Marathon. I
trained with two friends for 18 weeks. We assumed
animal names as alter egos to serve as our respective
muses. I was Running Deer. Nic was Posscoon. Jason
was Dark Horse. We began almost all of our long
Saturday training runs together and challenged
ourselves with the toughest, meanest hills we could find
in Columbia. It felt good to complete the marathon, but
training for it was where I found the real value. Anybody
can show up and run or walk 26.2 miles. It‘s an entirely
different animal to complete 70 training runs in the heat,
wind, cold, snow and ice. Samuel Beckett had it right
when he said, ―I can‘t go on, I‘ll go on.‖
Where is your favorite place to run? I‘ve run in a lot
of different places, but the MKT trail continues to be one
of my
favorite
places. It‘s
heavily
shaded, flat,
relatively
soft, scenic
and
extensive.
The deer on
the trail are
particularly
inspiring.
What are
some of
your
running
accomplishments?
I‘m a fine
wine. In
1988, I ran
a 15K at a
9:51 pace.
Twenty-one years later, I ran a marathon, almost three
times as far, at a 9:23pace. I‘ll also never forget a 12-mile
training run that included Easley Hill, wild dogs chasing
me on Woodie Proctor, a wrong turn on Old Plank Road
and countless unexpected hills. Facing 35 mph winds
and hot temperatures in the 2011 Brew-to-Brew relay
was not easy, either. Running shirtless at the 2010 First
Night 5K was an accomplishment, too. It was quite cool
when I finished — literally! I'm a Show-Me State Games
state record holder in the 10K. This is because 2010 was
the first year of the competition and nobody else
competed in my age division.
What are you running goals? My knees have never
completely recovered from the marathon in 2009, but I
hope to run a sub-4 hour marathon in New York City in
the next couple of years. I also want to complete Heart of
America and participate on a Hood-to-Coast relay team.
What is your favorite pre- or post-run food? Pre-race
food would be spaghetti and meatballs. Post-run food
would be an over-sized, sloppy-looking cheeseburger
with fries and cold beer.
Personal info and interests: My wife‘s name is Mary
and she trains slow but races fast. We have a dog named
Sly who has completed a couple of 10-mile walks/runs. I
work as a photographer and one of my favorite activities
includes editing photos in the lower level of our house
while listening to music on vinyl.

The race starts and finishes near Gentry
Middle School and is sponsored by the
Columbia Kiwanis clubs. Proceeds benefit
Rainbow House.
Jeff Shikles was a local veterinarian who
enjoyed running. He died in 2008.
Philip Sayer, founder of the Galt Fire Department, dedicated
his time and resources for the improvement of funding and
training for volunteer fire departments nationwide. During
his fire service career, he was Missouri‘s representative to
the National Volunteer Fire Council. He also served as a
member of the Executive Board of the NVFC. While on the
board, he sat on numerous committees that shaped the
standards that are used to evaluate fire department and officer requirements. He was instrumental in the Fire ACT
grants and keeping them funded when efforts arose to cut
them. He also served as FFAM‘s Legislative Committee
Chairman and in 1995 helped pass a state law that created
the Fire Education Commission. Phil chaired the Commission until he passed away on December 14, 2007.
This scholarship provides volunteer fire fighters and fire
officers the opportunity to further their skills and education
to attend Summer Fire School in Jefferson City.
The Fire Education Commission has earmarked a total of
$3000 for scholarships to be awarded. Each awarded scholarship will include up to 12 hours of course tuition.

PREDICT YOUR TIME
Runners are staggered at the start based on

will finish together, but this race tends to
attract some good liars. The first person to
cross the finish line wins the title and gets to

CTC Scholarship Recipients
Four seniors each were awarded $500.00 from the CTC Joe Marks Memorial Scholarship fund. These seniors all participated in
high school cross country and track, and each provided exemplary service to the club and community. Rock Bridge students Grady
Harrington and Griffin Humphries were part of the second place state cross country team last fall. Grady will be attending University of Pittsburgh, and Griffin will run for University of Missouri-Kansas City. Hickman students chosen were Erin Occena and
Adelyn Myers. Erin will be attending Benedictine College in Atchison, Kansas. Erin would like to complete a marathon after her
freshman year. Adelyn will attend University of Missouri-Columbia, and she will be running as a part of the MU Running Club.
Congratulations to these young men and women as they begin their college experience. We appreciate your service to CTC,
school, and community.
Dear CTC,
Thank you for awarding me with the CTC Joe
Marks Youth Scholarship. I'm honored to be selected as the recipient of this award, and I can't
thank you enough. Running has been part of my
life for many years now, and I've enjoyed participating and volunteering in CTC events. I'm hoping to continue running with the MU running
club during my college experience as I pursue an
animal science degree. Thank you again for your
support.
Adelyn Myers
Dear CTC,
I would like to express my gratitude for making
the $500 Joe Marks Youth Scholarship possible. I
was excited to learn of my selection for this honor,
and I am deeply appreciative of your support.
I will be stating at Benedictine College this fall
where I intend to double major in Elementary and
Special Education with a minor in Spanish. My
goal after I graduate is to get teaching experience
— perhaps through the Inner-City Teaching
Corps. From there, I hope to venture to South
America where I would like to teach or be involved
in missionary work. The assistance you provided
will lighten my financial burden and allow me to
focus more of my time on learning and running.
This fall I will train for my first marathon, which
I plan to run after my freshman year.
Since I began competing in cross country four
years ago, my family has been welcomed into the
running community. I enjoy getting to know my
fellow distance runners while volunteering at
packet pick-ups, the summer youth track meets, and
along various courses.
Thank you again for your generosity and support,
Sincerely,
Erin Occena
