People in the News Notes

* Molly Huddle, 17, of Elmira has been named one of the nation's best junior road racers (ages 19-under) by USA Track & Field. Molly set a single-age 16 AR at the Chris Thater 5K (16:45), and clocked a 17:43 at our own hilly WDF 5K in Dryden. Those were the top two performances of five listed for girls F16 in the U.S. in 2001. Molly tuned up for the Millrose Games scholastic girls race (but more about THAT next issue) by running the 2-mile and mile at our January track meet. Take a look at her times -- two of the best performances posted this season by a HS girl in the U.S.

* Margret Betz of Conklin has been named USATF Long Distance Runner of the Year F65, and Running Times F65 Masters Female Runner of the Year. Margret set 4 pending single age 65 records in late 2001: Ithaca 5 & 10 5 (35:00); SFoR 5K (21:16); Octoberfast 10K (46ish) and Stockade-athon 15K (low 69s).

* Also listed in Running Times as masters honorable mentions in their respective age groups: Kathy Martin (F45), our Hartshorne Mile winner; Carolyn Smith Hanna (F50), 3rd at Hartshorne and Sandy Folzer (F60) of Mansfield, Pa.
