Dave’s Run for ALS 2023 Race Recap
Today’s running of Dave’s Run for ALS was a tough one for the runners thanks to the wind which was mostly into the runners for the last 1.5 miles of the 5K and for about 3 miles in the middle of the 10K.
The 5K top 3 men were Zachary Stewart (17:26), Jose Delgado (17:36), and Todd Kornfeld (17:37). The men’s master’s crown was won by Robert Rezetko (18:23). On the women’s side the top 3 spots were Jori Galles (17:55), Billie Lubis (19:41), and Sharon Silvas (20:07). Pulling Sharon out of the Master’s category meant the crown there went to Janet Holland in an impressive (21:51).
In the 10K the top 3 men were Max Miller in a smoking time of 34:10, Jason Kyle (37:47), and Jose Delgado (38:51). The men’s master’s title was taken by Robert Rezetko in 39:02. The top 3 women were Tara Bruce (45:19), Marjanne Magana (47:30), and Erin Geyer (47:45). The women’s master’s winner was Debra Lazar in a time of 48:40.
Almost 50 kids took part in the FitKidz mile. Boys overall was Jaime Gamino (6:55), Ian Hinajos (6:56) and Orlando Guerrero Gamino (7:35). Girls overall was Finley Johnson, who was also 3rd overall (7:00), Leilani Flores (7:37) and Isabell Laforge (8:09).
