| History |
The Middle School Fund Run of Saturday afternoon, 28 September 1991, at Floyd Dryden: a 5-kilometre race and a 1-kilometre race for younger runners, raising money for middle school cross country teams. The co-organiser Whitey Bloom said it drew a record field. The story of the day was a three-way rivalry. Skye Stekoll, Travis Zangri and Asher Hall - teammates at Marie Drake - had kept it at a fever pitch since the previous spring, and finished the Empire Cup Runners Series boys division 1-2-3. Stekoll won the 5-K boys division in 20:33, adding 10 points to a season total of 151, the most of any runner in the series. Zangri and Hall came home eight seconds later, dead level on the clock, with Zangri ahead by a step. "All three are excellent runners," the Marie Drake coach Whitey Bloom said. "They trade places for who comes in first every race. You never know which one it will be." Guy Thibodeau won the 5-K overall in 16:18 and Claire Brooks was the fastest woman in 23:02. In the kilometre, limited for the most part to runners aged 14 and under, Damian Eckhout won the boys' race in 3:53 and Jennifer Hodges the girls' in 3:45. SOURCES: "Teammates finish Cup season 1-2-3", Juneau Empire, Monday 30 September 1991, page 13, continuing on page 14 with both finish lists. NOTES ON THE LIST. The report gives no field total, so there is no external count to check the 87 finishers against - only that every division runs consecutively from first place with no gaps. One runner in the men's 40-49 is printed with an initial for a given name, as "N Johns", and is recorded that way. Two women's names are printed differently from the way the archive holds them - Claire for Clare Brooks and Debra for Debbie Boyd - and both rows say so. The 5-K men's 14-19 division is won by Jim Shine Jr., with Jim Shine ninth in the men's 40-49. Three 1990 lists placed the father in the 30-39 division, one of them spelling him "Jim Shine Sr." outright. |
