MASTERS MEN WIN 8K ROAD NATIONAL TITLE

The masters 40s men won the USATF Masters 8k roads national title on Saturday, their second national win in a row, down at Virginia Beach.  Like the USATF-NJ, this is a year-long, team-scored grand prix that pits the best masters teams in the country.

Sam Teigen and Jonathan Frieder were the team's 1-2 finish up front, respectively, running a sizzling 26:04 and 26:08.  This was good enough for 5th and 6th overall.

Teammates Gary Leaman (28:23), Joe Hegge (28:33), and Chris Rinaldi (30:44) helped secure the squad's second team national title.

NATIONAL GOLDS  

Tyrone Ross (51.59) and Chuck Schneekloth (2:08.99) won 400m and 800m gold medals, respectively, at the USATF Masters National Track and Field Championships.

Ross, defending his 35-39 title from the spring of 2017, sat on Southwest Sprinter TC's Dedrick Clark and outmuscled him in the final stretch, winning 51.59-51.86.

After a slower opening 400 (66.90), Schneekloth ran 62.09 in his final 400, including a 29.95 final 200m, to outkick Judson Cake, the 1500m champ from Maine's Dirigo TC.

Leskow Leads GSTC at Adrenaline 5k

Several club members ran well in South Jersey's Adrenaline 5k, and this picture, taken hours later, is the closest thing we have to race pictures.  But that's okay because the times speak for themselves!

Aaron Leskow got 2018 off to a great start, as he rolled to an impressive 14:57 finish for 3rd place.  Kyle Price (center) was 6th in 15:17 with training partner Sean Donohue (left) finished in 15:35.  Tim Ball and Steve Rathbun (right) both ran 15:50 for their spring rustbuster.

Brendan Conway had a fine finish of 16:35 while teammates Marquis Cox (17:36), Megan Venables (18:45), Robyn Evangelist (19:01), Cara Guth (20:23), Cynthia Cuiule (21:00), and Shae Spicer (21:35).

Alfredo Santana finally did what all distance runners dream of doing: breaking 4:00 in the mile.  Above, at the Wanamaker Mile, he ran 4:00.15, but he previously ran 3:59.07 at Ocean Breeze and then later 3:58.03 at the Dr. Sanders Invitational.

MASTERS MEN WIN 8K
CROSS COUNTRY NATIONAL TITLE IN TALLY
The 2018 spring season started out with six gold medals for the men's masters team down in Tallahassee.  Led by #1 man Elliott Frieder, the masters men dominated second place Atlanta Track Club 18-39 to take the club's first ever first place finish at a team event.

After running in a chase pack for most of the race, Elliott (27:54) outkicked Sam Teigen (28:03), and brother Jonathan (28:09) to finish 1-2-3 in the 40s division.  Chuck Schneekloth (29:08), Aaron Cooper (30:04), and Thom Knowles (30:28) rounded out the scoring six for the club.
