In the most exciting race seen around this part, the 23 year-old Yonkers resident edged out highly re garded Odis Sanders by ten yards to win Dannon's 7 mile championship run around Titicus Reservoir, Purdys. Sanders, running for Millrose A. A., and vhe defending champion, came into the race with some impressive cre dentials. His career, which took off after last year's win, included excellent runs in the New York, Boston and Madrid marathons, and he had showed his mettle in winning Lincoln Hall and P e e k s k i l l . A s i x s e c o n d l o s s t o B i l l Rodgers in NYRR's George Washington Bridge 10K was instrumental in push ing him into national performance. At Purdys, however, he ran into a buzz saw. Krohn, who has been run ning well at shorter distances — mile through 5,000 meters — made the most of this opportunity. Through the first mile, a tough up hill grind, the watch told a tale of things to come: 4 minutes, 45 seconds. Paul Friedman's course record of 34:52 was definitely in jeopardy. They went for it with a vengeance. There was to be no hand-holding, buddy- buddy tie here. Coming off the tough ascent, it be came apparent that Sanders was the better on the downhills, and Krohn stronger on the flats and uphills. They battled that way through five miles. At that point Krohn apparently took into a c c o u n t t h e d o w n h i l l fi n i s h a n d m a d e his move, pulling away from the Free- port, L.I. runner. He opened up a 40 yard lead and waited for Sanders' final assault. It came with 600 yards to go, but t h e d i s t a n c e w a s t o o m u c h t o o v e r come and Westchester Road Runner's number one runner hung on for a two second victory. Friedman's record just didn't fall, it was obliterated. Krohn's winning time of 33:47 shattered it by a minute-five, and when one considers Friedman Edges Sanders in Record Time w e n t o n t o fi n i s h fi f t h i n t h e B o s t o n marathon (1980) it highlights the cali ber of both Krohn and Sanders. Excel lent piece of work. The performance of Krohn and Sanders tended to detract from some other outstanding runs. John McNulty, and Adam Licht, teammates of Krohn, helped Westchester wrap up the team title as they finished third and fourth, respectively. McNulty was timed in 35:25 with Licht, at only 19 years old, in 35:44. However, the real eye opener Road races of the last four months show that numbers are still prominent. Titicus and Peekskill were both in the 1000 range while Yorktown and Titi cus drew between five and six hundred. Mahopac also drew 600 despite con flicts with the GW Bridge run (3000) and Westchester Half (4000). Within our club and local area, many members were responsible in organizing and di recting races, making these numbers happen. Marc Oxman, who graces the bench of Yorktown's judicary, directed the North County News mini-marathon. Assisted by fellow members and resi dents, Marc and his crew raised $1500 w h i c h w e n t t o w a r d s r e n o v a t i o n a n d improvement of the running "oval". Mike Doyle was a runaway winner with club members Owen McCrudden, Kevin Hillery, Jerry Rosenfeld and Bob Rogan nailing down first place trophies. Bob Bergin did anoth.er fine job at Lincoln Hall.

Eleanor Simonsick, Washington D.C., was never threatened as she took the women's championship with a 41:36 effort, almost four minutes ahead of runner-up Dede Garvey, Stamford. Club member Peg Mimno, Brewster, was fifth in 46:29. Almost 1,000 runners took part in the Dannon series, which can be summed up in two words: quality and quantity.

  • Personality Profile: JEANIE ARNETTBy Owen McCrudden

    You must have seen her if you goto the local races. She may not be oneof the fastest women around, but sheis cer ta in ly one o f the hardes t comp e t i t o r s o n t h e l o c a l s c e n e . T h a t ' sJ e a n i e A r n e t t w h o r u n s s o s h e c a ncompete rather than just to be fit.

    J e a n i e w h o l i v e s i n S o m e r s w i t hher husband, Steve, has run everyth ing f rom 5K to the marathon s inceit all began back in 1977. It was theFr. Mooney classic held annually onJuly 4th that was the beginning ofher road racing with no end in sighte v e n w i t h t w o m a r a t h o n s t o h e rc r e d i t .

    S h e i s o u t t h e r e o n t h e r o a d s t r a i ning throughout the year, whether it bet h e c o l d w i n t e r m o n t h s o r t h e h o t h umid weather of July and August. ForJeanie loves to run and when you lookat her accomplishments you will seew h y. S h e w a s 2 n d i n t h e s u m m e rbiathlon in 1979; the first woman overa l l i n the Westches te r Win te r Ser iesthis year; and ran the N.Y.C. marathonin 1980 in a smart 3:47 time. Maybeit's because her time keeps improvingor her husband Steve's urging, butJeanie feels as long as she is able shewill continue running.

    Tennis and swimming are fun butonly as a supplement to her running,Jeanie especially looks forward to the

    c lub 's coup les races he ld th roughoutt he yea r and hopes t he re w i l l be acategory for married couples in futurer a c e s a t M o h a n s i c P a r k , H o w d o e s s h efi t m a r r i a g e a n d h o l d i n g d o w n h e rcareer into her running schedule? Noproblem she says, especially whenboth partners start out running at thesame time. She feels one complementst h e o t h e r ,

    "When one of us gets down at theheels, we help the other out," she says."Since we have the same interests, wecan relate and respond to each othersneeds more readily than non-runningcoup les . "

    Jean's training schedule is a six dayweek running anywhere from 5-7 milesa day with a ten mile run on the weekend. This she fits in after school (sheteaches science at St, John's parochials c h q o l i n C a r m e l , N . Y. ) W h e n s h estarts marathon training her mileagegoes up to about 60 miles a week witha long 18 miler on the weekends. Herfi r s t m a r a t h o n i n 1 9 7 9 w a s a m o d e s t4:05, but t ime wasn't a factor to her.It was more a matter of just finishing.She bettered that time in last year'sN.Y.C. marathon with a respectful3:47, As long as she can keep improving her time then that's plenty ofsatisfaction along with that feeling ofaccompl ishment that comes wi th running the marathon.

    She feels that in running and finishing a marthon it's solid proof that onecan accomplish anything in l i fe if sheis willing to set her mind to the task.The dedication to purpose, the discip l i n e , t h e s a c r i fi c e s t h a t m a r a t h o nt r a i n i n g r e q u i r e s c a n b e t r a n s p o s e di n t o o t h e r a r e a s o f l i f e . B u t s h e i squick to add, she doesn't recommendrunning marathons to everyone. "Itis something one builds up to," Jeanieexplained. "By starting with the shorterraces and then gradual ly lengtheningthem, the body can adjust to thes t r e s s e s a n d s t r a i n s t o e n d u r e t h e m a r at h o n d i s t a n c e . "

    W h a t d o e s s h e h a v e i n s t o r e f o r t h i syear? Well, that's sort of up in the airsince she and Steve are expecting theirfirst child the first week in December.(Steve, have you worked out thes c h e d u l e f o r t h e fi r s t t w o o ' c l o c kfeeding yet?) Her feelings about theclub is one where she met new friends,young and old alike and would like tos e e m o r e p e o p l e t a k e a d v a n t a g e o fthe club activities held throughoutthe year.

    Jeanie's future goal is to get hert ime down i n t he ma ra thon and t he10K races. This she believes is a matterof time with a balance of training andspeed, good luck and listening to theadvice of her husband and coach. Withall that going for Jeanie how can shem i s s !

    Doyle Gets Off On Right Foot in TGISThe weatherman was very cooperative in our "Thank God it's Spring" 10K at Mohansic Park, Mike Doyle got his spring season off

    to a fine start holding off a determined Scott Mosenthall by 16 seconds in 32:47, Russell Palmer took third beating out John Hollandand Howie Bashant. Jane Denton, Pleasantville, ran 39:20 for top honors among the women, Judy Pickert was runner-up.

    Doyle, Mosenthall and Palmer, were split about ten yards apart at the end of the first mile, Holland and Bashant followed. The onlyaspect to change was the distance between the runners. Coming out of the parking lot second time around, Doyle led by 50-60 yards.Palmer was out of contention, though thoroughly entrenched in third.

    Denton was never in trouble building up a three minute margin over Judy, while finishing twenty-first overall.Running through the first half-mile I heard some of the fiercest grunting and groaning I've ever heard anywhere. Immediately I had

    vision of Dr. George Sheehan. The sounds were accompanied by a hard and fast pounding of feet. As he flew past he gave me a grin anda "Hi." He was Joe Burns, 52, veteran Millrose runner. It was hard to imagine that the short snappy stride could be sustained for 6.2miles. His finishing time of 36:35, ninth overall, attested to the fact.

    Cigar smoking, beer-drinking, Dom DiLauria, 54, had to be impressed as he watched the Bogota, New Jersey resident sip on hisa f t e r - r a c e m a r t i n i .

    "Geez, Harry," he moaned goodnaturedly, "for once I get rid of (Bob) Rogan and you bring in this guy. He's twice as bad."Susan Solow (60:09) may have been frustrated at her failure to break the one hour mark for the first time, but she was somewhat
