Werner Ekes Out Hutton Memorial Win
Werner covered the course in 17 minutes, 48 seconds, followed closely by Travis Faulkner (17:52). Those two ran away from the field early on and pushed each other down the stretch. Race Director Lynn Newcomer said the race will become an annual event to benefit the David Hutton Track Scholarship. That's a memorial to Hutton, an active runner who lost his life as the result of injuries suffered in an auto accident last September. Newcomer said the annual financial award will go to the Cameron County High School senior who is a member of the school's track and field team and demonstrates academic achievement. Each racer and participant in the accompanying two-mile walk paid at least $12 to participate. Area merchants supported the David Hutton Memorial by donating items given out as door prizes. Some 68 participants, including 35 runners, lined up at the Cameron County High School starting line. Young Ali Mertsock of Shinglehouse was the first overall female finisher (22:21). "We're very thankful to the many volunteers and sponsors who made the first David Hutton Memorial such a success," Newcomer said. "Thanks also to the Fire Police and the Emporium Borough for managing the streets and traffic during the race and walk." Top finishers by age division (in order) were as follows: 14 and under: Trevor Clark, first, Logan Hutton, second. 15-19: Andy Osborn. 20-29: Michael Schlimm (men) and Carrie Burns (women). Men 30-39: Travis Faulkner, James Housler, Dr. Dan Carr, Bill Carr, Eugene Barr, Darryl Hanes, Cory Dickinson. Women 30-39: Annetta Horning, Steph Heverly. Men 40-49: Steve Spinda, Kevin Brunner, Tom Hutton, Steve Lenze. Women 40-49: Terri Klein, Joanna Mason, Beth Horning, Sandy Yonker, Sharon Gregory. Men 50-59: Paul Villela, Rick Murphy, Jeff Gregory, Robert Copp. Women 50-59: Susan Newcomer. Men 60 and over: Ben Zappa, Fred Mildrew, Chuck Kepler, Don Olivett. |
