Terry Hershey parkrun #51 notes


After finishing second to Peter Lawrence in parkrun #50 on December 21, Andrew Johnston returned to his winning ways as he grabbed his 31st win in 33 appearances at Terry Hershey parkrun.

Junior runner James Boutte, Jr.'s first-ever parkrun saw him finishing second in a time of 18:56.  He was the first of 27 new runners to Terry Hershey parkrun on Saturday.

Graham Dwyer was the third overall male in 20:45 with a little international parkrun tourism at play as all 30 of his prior parkruns have been in the UK, with 23 of them coming at Tonbridge parkrun.  Wife Lesley joined in for first Terry Hershey parkrun (12 parkruns in total) with a 29:15 finish.

Alison Matthews was the first female finisher in her fifth consecutive race at Terry Hershey parkrun.  Alison has 43 career parkruns, including appearances at 15 different parkruns in the UK -- and wins at 13 of them.

Adam Eiler, fifth overall, completed his 25th parkrun, including 24 this year at Terry Hershey.  The other came this summer at the Centennial, Australia parkrun.

Darren Oxspring led his son, Thomas, across the Terry Hershey parkrun finish line by 38 seconds to finish seventh and eighth overall.  It was Darren's 25th parkrun at Terry Hershey and Thomas is one finish away from 15 at Terry Hershey.

Gita Kulkarni was the second overall female finisher in 24:20, her second race at Terry Hershey parkrun in the last three weeks.

Edward Montana, Mark Coleman and James Barry finished 14th through 16th and within 10 seconds of one another - and each is now one away from an official and unofficial milestone.  Ed's next race will be his tenth overall while Mark and James are looking for their 20th and 15th parkrun finishes respectively.

Stephen Pink trailed all three of them, but he posted his 25th finish at Terry Hershey with a time of 26:53.

Clint and Nicolas Hutchinson finished in 18th and 23rd, respectively, with times of 27:07 and 28:30, but it leaves Clint one parkrun shy of 15 while Clint is sitting at 16 to close out 2019.

Paul Broadhead was the first of seven new personal bests on Saturday with his mark of 28:32.  His next Terry Hershey parkrun finish will be his 10th.  He has five other parkruns to his credit - four at Daventry, UK and one at Sale Water parkrun in the UK.

Eva and Andrea Williams finished within a second of each other and completed their 20th and 21st parkruns at Terry Hershey as they are both approaching their 50th park run.  Eva, running in the 15-17 age group, has 46 - not even counting her six junior park runs in the UK - and Andrea has 47.

Irma Machac grabbed her fourth new personal best of the year with a run of 29:53 as she has lowered her time from her first parkrun of 31:43.

Kaiya Pino and Claire Foster were the next two runners who recorded personal bests in their second Terry Hershey parkruns.  Kaiya was 38th overall in 31:16 while Claire finish three positions and 24 seconds behind in 31:40.

Peter Foster's next parkrun finish will be his tenth.  He finished his sixth Terry Hershey parkrun to go with his three this March at the Portsmoth Lakeside parkrun in the UK.

Barry Chambers posted his personal best two weeks ago in his second Terry Hershey parkrun, but dialed it back a little bit to run with his granddaughter, Mia, for her parkrun finish in 32:17.

Father Paul and daughter Kristen Schank finished together in 32:18 on Saturday.  While it was his 17th Terry Hershey parkrun finish, it was Kristen's seventh -- and the sixth that she's run with her father.

Shima Gammack and Haitao Zhang finished four positions apart - 48th and 52nd in 32:26 and 34:25, respectively, but the two ladies will completed their 25th and 20th parkruns on their next finish, likely at Terry Hershey parkrun where they've run all 44 of their combined races.

Paul Dickerson completed his 30th career parkrun on Saturday, while 22 of them have come at Terry Hershey and one at the brand new Bear Creek Greenbelt parkrun in Keller, Texas.  Of course, Paul has volunteered 40 times, including 13 as run director and 17 as results processor.

Terry Hershey parkrun #50 Notes


These are some notes that I compiled from the results of the parkrun at Terry Hershey Park on Saturday, December 21, 2019:

+  Saturday, December 21, 2019 was Terry Hershey parkrun's 50th race.  Of the 28 USA parkruns who have had 50 races, the 75 finishers was the fifth highest ever.  (In case, you're wondering, 93 is the mark, set by College Park two years ago, when they hosted their 51st race.)

+  The 15 volunteers Saturday were the most ever, surpassing the 14 the race had the week before.  (Only Jamaica Pond and Kensington had more volunteers for their 50th race, 23 and 17, respectively.)

+  First finisher Peter Lawrence ran his first parkrun ever, finishing in 16:56, just eight seconds off of Andrew Johnston's event record of 16:48.  Johnston, who has won 30 Terry Hershey parkruns, was second in 17:01.

+  First female finisher Alison Matthews won her fourth race - in four tries - at Terry Hershey with a personal best time of 20:14.  Two of those four wins, she was the first finisher for the entire race.

+  Third place finisher Edward Katz joined us on Saturday after running the Jamaica Pond parkrun in Boston six times since 11/2/19.

+  John Yoder, who finished fourth overall, is one finish shy of his 25th Terry Hershey parkrun.

+  Charles Tremlett, sixth in 20:41, completed his 15th parkrun for 2019, including 13 at Cornwall, NZ and the other at Taupo, NZ.

+  Darren Oxspring completed his 25th career parkrun - all this year, with 24 coming at Terry Hershey and the other finish was at Torquay, Australia.

+  Oxspring and Francis Ogbonna, who finished immediately behind him, both earned a new personal best for their second consecutive race.

+  Peter Haasz, 14th overall, like Katz, joined us after running six Parkville, Australia parkruns since 10/26/19.

+  Andrea Williams, who ran her 20th Terry Hershey parkrun on Saturday, is just four away from 50 career parkruns.

+  Six consecutive runners - in places 22 through 27 -- ran new personal bests -- Isaac and Jesse Harvey, Mark Coleman, Barry Tyther, Clint Hutchinson and James Barry.
