Veterans Day 10k photos

Andy Sovonick (18th, 33:45) passed the first mile in the first Veterans Day 10k that wasn't a disaster for him.
Sam Luff (3rd, 31:00) and Ryan Witters (4th, 31;17) came through three miles just under 15 minutes.
Ryan Hanson (6th, 31:55) and Wilson Komen (7th, 32:12) stalk GRC defector Chris Sloane at three miles.
Paul Guevara (15th, 33:00) got back on the roads after cooling his heels in Texas and Alabama following last month's Twin Cities Marathon.

Anna "Usain" Holt-Gosselin led the GRC women in 3rd place in 35:39.
Jerry Greenlaw (14th, 32:58) loops around in the fourth mile.
Dickson Mercer (10th, 32:19) and Dave Wertz (11th, 32:38) planned to run together and that ended up being a good idea.
Dizzy Jimmy Daly (22nd, 34:48) raced with the team for the first time in eons, following a long layoff thanks to vertigo. YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH

Maura Carroll continued an excellent fall racing season with a 6th place finish in 37:05.
Susan Hendrick ran 37:34 for 9th place,then forgot to put her ticket in the raffle basket to try to win a free vacation.


Laura O'Hara's shoe came untied shortly before the third mile marker and she spent at least 30 seconds retying it, but still finished 10th in 37:42, holding off a Pacers runner.
The trophy for the Veterans Day10k team competition will rest in the GRC case at Hank Dietle's.

  2. The forerunner of Veterans Day was Armistice Day, declared by U.S. President Woodrow Wilson for November 11, 1919, to respect those individuals from the military who were murdered amid war World War I. The date of eleventh November was honored the truce marked between the Allies of World War I and Germany at Compiègne, France, for the discontinuance of threats on the Western Front of World War I. An Act (52 Stat. 351; 5 U. S. Code, Sec. 87a) endorsed May 13, 1938, made the eleventh of November in every year a legitimate occasion — a day to be devoted to the reason for world peace and to be from that point celebrated and known as "Cease-fire Day."
