Queens 1/2 marathon: WS men take 2nd team honors. Leading the team was Stephane Bois 5th PL., Marc Antone 6th (just got out kicked by Stephane), Eitan Tabak 12th, (some 3 minutes faster than B'klyn 1/2), and breaking into the scoring team once again Nick Lavacca 30th Pl. WS women were one runner short of the four needed for a team score. Good effort by Janet Fatoke, Sharon Walker and Elisabeth Hatab. Great job by all !

 

Mother's Day 5km: Congratulations to Mike Anderson's first place performance,  a fitting tribute to Hallie, Mike's wife, they are expecting their  first child soon.

 

Women's 1/2 marathon: Doris Correa was outstanding in her  performance by crossing the finish line before all others.  To bad some zealous countryman of hers ran out to cheer her home, his action fostered a protest, race management disqualified Doris, WS has filed an appeal.  Prior to the ruling via appeal Alayne Adams of CPTC the athlete who was awarded first place has graciously withdrawn her protest. Doris has been reinstated as the winner which also meant re-scoring the team competition. Warren Street  Women's team took 1st team honors, led by Doris Correa (1:23:27), Jeanne Pare'(1:25:49, 4th Pl.) , Hanna Pechackova (1:32:20, 19th Pl.) & Celine Perrot (1:32:37, 21St Pl.). Rounding out the women's team was Alexandra Warren, Sarah Tison, Rosemary Feitelberg & Natalie Cheltenham-Festa.

Brooklyn Half:  The men finished 1st overall and the women finished 2nd overall!!  The men were led by Silky Wilkinson (5th), Marc Antone (7th), Mike Anderson (9th), Ernest Holt (11th and Hans Parrado (24th).  Great job guys!  The women were led by Jean Chodnicki-Stemm (8th), Diane Bownes (31st), Hana Pechakova (32nd) and Celine Perrot (38th).

This weekend was full of races. First the men and World Indoor Mile Masters Record Holder Lyubov Kremleva escaped NYC on Saturday to commence the USATF-Long Island Grand Prix. The men won and scored 100 points to start the LI season. They were led by a one-two finish by MikeG and Mike Anderson. Co-captain Hans Parrado (5th), new member Marc Antone (10th) and first "varsity point" Nick Lavacca rounded out the top five scorers (18th). On the woman's side, Lyubov smashed the former course record of 23:13 in a blistering 21:42 (5:25 pace) and earned herself a nice piece of change for the record (i.e. $$$$$). By the way, Lyubov is a master! Her performance was probably one of the fastest if not the fastest 4 miles every run on Long Island by woman, never mind by a master. Unfortunately, we didn't field a woman's team.

On Sunday, the infamous Coogan's 5K in Washington Heights attracted a nice crowd (in crappy weather). The men and women's team both took 2nd, earning $200 for each team. Lyubov led all women scorers with a first place finish (and earning $500). Let's just say the NYRR scoring was fouled up....but Celine Johnson was approx 17th, new member Olena Plastinina was approx 19th, and Stacey Juckett approx 21st. The men were led by MikeG (5th), Pascal Sauvayre (21st), Chris "I now live in Denmark" Madsen (24th), Nick "just racking up varsity points" Lavacca (36th), and James Dee (53rd). To follow the race in traditional Warren Street fashion, the team consumed Shepard's Pie and countless pints of Guinness on the house. I'm sure another team photo will make the wall at Coogan's! Well done and a big thank you - PETER AND DAVID, our teammates and gracious hosts at COOGAN'S (168th/Broadway).

Congratulations to the men's team for the 1st place finish and women's team for their 2nd place team finish at the Snowflake 4 miler!  The men were led by MikeG (3rd), Jim Lynch (6th), Matt Wilkinson (7th), Mike Anderson (8th) and Brent Purin (9th).  Great guys!  The women were led by Jeanne Pare (8th), Jean Chodnicki-Stemm (9th) and Doris Correa (11th) & Celine Perrot-Johnson (30th).  Great job women.

 

WS master runner Lyubov Kremleva broke the World Indoor masters mile record by running a blistering 4:29:72 (in her  Warren Street top) at the New Balance Elite Mile run at the Armory 1/25/03. WS women masters runners now  held  the American indoor mile record, Kim Griffin 4:59:17 & now Lyubov. And of course former WS runner Khalid Khannouchi holds the world marathon record. Warren Street the home of champions!

 

The WS Men wrapped up the 2002 year with victories at the last two races the season.  WS Men won the Wantagh Snowball 5M on Saturday to clinch the USATF Long Island LDR Grand Prix (and $950 in team cash).  Then on Sunday, the WS Men won the JoeK 10K to clinch the NYRR Championship Series for the third time in as many years (just pride)!  This was another successful season for the Warren Street Men!  Many different folks stepped up throughout the year to help WS earn the well deserved top honors in each series.  It was our goal from the start of 2002 to win both series.  Thanks to all for making it a great year.  We look forward to our victory celebration in late January 2003.

 

JoeK 10K:  The team placed 2, 3, 4, 9, & 16. Leading the way was Jimmy Lynch, followed by Prisco Huerta (second race of the weekend), Brent Purin, all 3 of whom were within 16 seconds of each other. Next was new team member, Nick Scerbo from the Naval Academy, then Maddog (who also doubled this weekend) rounded out the top five scorers. Jim Stemm was 3rd overall master in the race and 6th WSSACer. And a big Welcome Back to our Kiwi friend Steve Walker, who moved back to NYC from New Zealand!  The women's team finished in 3rd place.  Jean Chodnicki-Stemm led the way in 9th place, followed by Diane Bownes (22nd) and Doris Correa (23rd).

 

Wantagh 5M:  The team ran as a pack for the first few miles and placed 2, 3, 4, 5, & 7. Leading the way was Stephane Bois, followed by Prisco Huerta, Mike Anderson, co-captains Hans Parrado and Mike Guastella. Chris "Maddog" Madsen cruised through the race placing 11th. Following the race, in typical WS fashion, the team toasted the season victory with Killian's Red throughout the morning (on the house, thanks to the race sponsor Mulcahy's Bar).

Oyster Bay 5K:  The Warren Street Men continued their winning ways taking top honors at the Oysterfest 5K in Oyster Bay Long Island. The men scored all five in the top 10 (Sean MacMillan 2nd, Chris Madsen 3rd, co-captain Hans Parrado 5th, Stephane Bois 7th, and newcomer Oliver Staley PR'ed for 10th place on the hilly north shore course).  Celine led the women's effort a 1st place age group.  Karen MacNamara was next and Michelle rounded out the effort.

 

Staten Island Half:  Great Job Silky Wilky with your 1st place finish in 1:11:14.  Jimmy Lynch finished 2nd, Chris Madsen was 3rd (PR!), Thomas Von Rohr was 28th and Andrew Donacik was 47th.  The men finished 3rd overall in the team competition.

 

Fred Lebo 5K XC:  The men's team put in a strong showing with the scoring members all in the top 13!  Matt (Silky Wilky) Wilkinson finished 2nd overall, Jimmy Lynch was 3rd, Brent Purin was 6th, Eitan Tabak was 10th and Hans Parrado rounded out the scoring members in 13th.  The women finished 2nd in the team competition.  Tara Sullivan led the pack with a 4th place overall finish, Barbara Gubbins was 6th overall and Leila Burr was 8th overall.  Great job men and women!!

 

Dutchess County Marathon:     The race itself was awful, I ran one of my slowest marathons (in years) and it was work to do that. I may not have finished if I didn't have my friends from Warren Street there and a HUGE desire to win a race. I am so, so proud of winning it!! The trophy is huge and the trip to Jamaica is gonna rock! The article attached has my finish photo and at www.poughkeepsiejournal.com/today/sports/stories/sp091602s2.shtml the article is horribly wrong (for instance my PR is 3:09:53 not 3:30) but look at the byline:"Juckett wins women's marathon crown", that alone makes it worth seeing!!! So to everyone who had to hear about this marathon over the past few months, I just wanted to let y'all to know it's done!

 

Gary Farley Memorial 5K:   The WSSAC men extend their Long Island Grand Prix winning streak to five at the Police Officer Gary Farley Memorial 5K in Wantagh, Long Island. Leading the team was Chris "Maddog" Madsen (2nd place overall in 16:12).  Not only did Chris PR by 41 seconds but he "never finished that close to the lead in a road race!".  Co-captain Hans Parrado was 4th, Eitan Tabak a half-stride behind in 5th, John McCready 8th and Kent Hawryluk rounded out the top five scoring men in 13th (first WS "varsity" point).  Rudy Daempfle 22nd continues to displace other team's scoring members.  Although this race was not considered a relay, Eitan was required to accept a "baton" pass mid-race by co-captain and injured reserve specialist MikeG. For the ladies, relatively new member Michele Labrento led the team, newlywed Victorien Madsen PR'ed yet again, and Loes Van-Oostrom traveled all the way from Amsterdam to race in the world famous LI Grand Prix. Post race celebration and awards ceremony was held at a LI hot-spot down the road at a place called Mulcahy's.  Inside this huge sports bar, WSer's refueled with a hot breakfast including sausages & bacon and some beer from the Rocky Mountains.  At this junction, teammates ribbed drivers Maddog and MikeG for getting them to the race an hour before any other runner.

 

Club Team Championships!!!  CLICK HERE 4 BBQ PHOTOS  Thank you DON WILCOX for hosting our post race party.  We all had a great time! Solid effort to our 44 members who represented WS in the Club Championships in Central Park on Saturday, 8/17/02.

Sorry Stemmer (who was close behind in 71st), the rumors about you being 10th man were just rumors. Open Women The WS women snuck in a fourth place. Jean Chodnicki-Stemm was our top woman in 17th place (32:06). Stacy Juckett was 27th packing it up with Leila Burr 28th & Celine Perrot-Johnson 30th, and Laurie Meacham 37th rounded out the top 5 women scorers. 2002 NYRR Championship Series Standings The men increase their lead in the series to 18 points in front of second place WSX.

Massapequa Firecracker 5K:  Men take 1st place in the Men's team competition.  In the spirit of Warren Street (and as decided by those over a few beers after the race), the team award goes to the WS last scorer, in this case John McCready. Thanks John!! Sean MacMillan WON, MikeG 5th, Eitan 8th, John 20th, Rudy 34th and Jeremy 40th (and Celine was about 12th, good for 2nd place in her age group).

 

FR Gay Pride Race:  Men take 1st & Women take 3rd in the team competition!  Sean MacMillan puts in another stud like performance with a win (25:24) at the Front Runner's Gay Pride Race.  Much to the disappointment of the Front Runner's, MikeG did not show to the race in his typical thong attire.  He decided that as a spectator he would be better off in more conservative running gear.  The men were led by Sean (1st), Brent Purin (3rd), Stephane Bois (6th), Prisco Huerta (8th) and Venkat Reddy (10th).  Great job guys!  The women finished 3rd in the team competition.  Nadegda Sandrkina led the scoring effort with an 8th place finish, Jean Chodnicki-Stemm (14th) and Celine Perrot-Johnson (23rd) rounded out the scoring.

Warren Street men flexed their muscles on Long Island on Sunday, 6/2/02, winning the New Hyde Park 5M.  The boys in blue ran away with it, putting 5 in the top 7. Sean MacMillan won overall in 24:43 (just off the course record). Brent Purin finished 2nd in 25:56. MikeG, MikeA, & Eitan were 5th, 6th, & 7th respectively, all under 26:30. Hans Parrado followed close behind the WS pack & Chris "Maddog" Madsen ran a PR to give the boys a little insurance. This gave WSSAC their second consecutive win in the Keyspan Energy Long Island LDR Grand Prix.

 

Boys:  First place in the Brooklyn rain....5 guys within 8 places (and none of our studs!)....nice pack attack and great job to all who went out to bear the elements. This puts us back to first place in the NYRR Championship standings!  The French Rocket Bois led us with a 9th place overall finish in a time of 26:18.  MikeG was next in 10th, Brent Purin was 12th, Prisco Huerta was 15th and Hans Parrado was 16th overall.  Way to go with the pack attack!
