2006 AZALEA TRAIL RUN 10K – TEAM COMPETITION 

 

Hey guys, great race reports sent by Becky, Tony and Steve! I am just going to talk a little about the Pine Belt Pacers Team Competition.  We had 26 official runners from our club in the Azalea Trail Run, a number large enough to have 8 or 9 teams.  As Becky says: “Twenty-five Pacers had the honor to run with the Fastest Colombian Living in Hattiesburg in the 10K ATC” J

   

            The evening before the race, while being hosted by Mrs Barbara Coll, Jim’s mother, each pacer donated $5.00 to benefit educational projects on the Longleaf Trace.  Then they were drawn in six groups of three.  Six fast and serious athletes were seeded at the draw and assigned as team captains.  They were: Jim Coll, Keith Barrett, Tony Mozingo, Joni Dunbar, Kim Ryder, and Keith Hilpp.  The other Pacers were later drawn at random and assigned to these teams.  At the end, the Pacers were divided as follows:

 

Team 1:  HERE FOR THE BEER

Jim Coll, Deborah Barrett and Steve Ulery

Team 2:  BEATIES & THE BEAST

Dana Christensen, Chrissy Herrington and Tony Mozingo

Team 3:  MIXED NUTS

            Joni Dunbar, Kili Garcia and Nestor Raul Anzola

Team 4:  THE ROOKY AND THE HOTTIES

            Keith Hilpp, Brandy Windham and Dawn Smith

Team 5:  CHICKS IN CHARGE

            Kim Ryder, Ginny Dufrene and Becky Ryder

Team 6:  WINE SPILLERS

            Keith Barrett, Deedre Coll and Vicky Copeland

 

            The six runners not present in the meeting were included with Hollie Ryder, Darleen Schauer and a guest, Mr Samuel Ndereba, a somehow fast Kennyan runner, in three teams as follows:

 

Team 7:  JCJC’s 2 FIT 2 QUIT

            Phillip Wedgeworth, Richard Sims and Nadine Archuleta

Team 8:  MELTING POT PRONATORS

            Darleen Schauer, Mustafa Khannouchi and Samuel Ndereba

Team 9:  GEEZERS BUT NOT WHEEZERS

            Hollie Ryder, Bob Clark, and Bill Gasparrini 

 

Team Scoring

            All 3 runners of each team score.  The ranking during the team competition is done according to the total cumulative time of the three members.  Of course, the team with the fastest cumulative time will be declared as the official winner of the 2006 ATR Pine Belt Pacers Club Intra-teams Competition.

            Congratulations to the winners, Jim, Deborah, and Steve.  However, watch out! We are not sure what Mr Ulery has been consuming in his diet during the last months.  His times for the 5K, 10K, half Marathon, and Marathon  have been improving so fast!  Whatever it is, it works perfectly! J
 

            Sorry the PBP Club is not included in the official results of the ATR event.  We were so many, and we were so ‘fast’ and noisy, the organizers had already desqualified all our teams even before the race started, LOL.  Thanks to every PBP Pacer for being so patient with the annoying e-mails and for being part of this competition and this nice family, the Pine Belt Pacers Club. © Nestor Raul
