3 Mile Fun Run
March 29, 2003
By Dave Panza
Scott LaMorte and Kristin Farley were the winners at the weekly Run for Fun at Clove Lakes Park. LaMorte covered the three mile course in 17:46, outlasting second-place Luis Oyola (18:18). Anthony Pitarresi (18:45), Ken Pickell (19:08) and Steve Woitkowski (19:21) rounded out the top five overall finishers.
Farley won the women's race in 19:49, with Tanya French second in 21:04. Danielle LaMagra (21:06), Diane Keeney (21:42) and Gail Marino (22:03) finished third through fifth, respectively.
Warmer weather greeted the runners today, and times were predictably faster than recent weeks. There was no drama in the battles for first place, as Scott LaMorte and Kristin Farley won handily. Instead, my storyline revolves around a post-race conversation that took place as I looked to retrieve the mile markers. Hopefully I'm not spilling any beans here by announcing the engagement of longtime SIAC stalwart Alex Liberatore to Margaret Iannuzzi. Alex popped the question at a romantic site within Paris, and as he quipped to me, what girl would say no, given the setting?
On behalf of all club members, congratulations, Alex.
