Another huge turnout for the Annual Fool's Run through Manasquan this past Saturday. Befitting the name of the race, runners started from the wrong start line which added about a tenth of a mile or 20 plus seconds to everyone's time. (Apologies to all the runners who had the incorrect start time on the web site). The overall winner again was Club Member, Dav DeMonico in a time of 16:32. For the women 11 year old Brianna Jackucewicz was first. In the One Miler Marie Walsh (pic on the right) was the OVERALL winner in a time just over 6 minute. The club helped out at the finish line and also provided baggage check service to all the participants. Congratulations to the Manasquan Recreation group which put on a really fun event. Nice party at O'Neills also which all the participants and club members really enjoyed. Among the club finishers were:
Dave DeMonico 16:32

Some people wrote in saying this was an April Fool's Joke. The only way you will find that out is by coming out to the Jersey Shore Relay on April 20.

The overall winner was Hector Rivera of Clifton in a time of 16:26. For the women the winner was Brianna Jackucewicz in a time of 18:18.

Getting Ready for the Jersey Shore Relay
Team JSRC had another great day in Central Park at the NYRRC Powerbar 20 Run and Relay. In the 20 Miler, Tom Hall won his Age Group in an amazing 2:07; Bob Childs got Third AG in 2:13; and Jane Erbe was Third AG in 2:33. New members Brian Downie (2:13), Jeff Neis (2:30), and Russell Stallone (2:35) all ran great, and are welcome additions to our team roster. President Bill Koch, Tom Mulvaney, Mary Moriarty, Bill Dunn, and Eric Campbell ran strong marathon warm-ups.. Another recent member Rick McNulty ran his longest training run, and is looking forward to a Fall marathon. Our Relay teams had a lot of fun. Kathy Porzio, Chris Coghlan, Carlos Morillo, and Jeananne Mc Fadden ran 5 mile splits; whereas Diane Cheer and Jessie Joseph opted for the 10 milers. Jerry Convery lost his partner to injury and ran a 10 mile training run. Judy Convery was head cheerleader for the team. Immediately after the Powerbar, Team JSRC headed over to our newly found Irish pub, Corlow East on Lexington Avenue, for carbo-reloading. Tom Hall true to his word bought all the Guinness, Harp, and Bass we could drink, plus pizzas. (This is the getting ready for the Jersey Shore Relay Part!) Thank you, Tom. Join us at the Queens Half on April 13, 2002.

The fog lifted, the sun came out and 4068 people showed up for the running of the 2002 Brooklyn Half Marathon. Lead by Tom Hall who won his age group Bob Childs and bill Scholl, JSRC Had another strong showing placing 3rd overall in the Master team category. This effort keeps your JSRC Men's Master Team (unofficially) in 3rd overall and the JSRC Men's Vets Team in the top 6 places. Diana Pittet was the sole woman runner to make the trek into Brooklyn and ran a fine race Finishing 312 of all the woman runners and 142 in her age group. It takes a lot of dedication, commitment and heart to travel into NYC and run the many races for the NYRRC Team Competition series. With a club of over 1200 members many of whom are able to compete with the best of them, our club could have an even stronger presence at these races. Please do what you can to support your club by joining in on the fun and run in some of the up coming events.
