Nutrition Fuels 5 & 10K

I was remiss last week in not noting Mary Coordt's 1st female finish at the Nutrition Fuels 10K in 37:42. Other notable results were Barbara Miller and Doug Braasch driving up from Modesto to put their usual hurt on the local Super Seniors. Barbara was age group 1st in 48:43, and Doug was 3rd in 47:49.

In the 5K, Po Adams turned in an age group first in 41:16.

Great running, Chippers!
