And what a race it was. The previously blogged Veterun in Westchester produced two top-notch victories as a pair of 25-year-olds,
Chad Ware of Deerfield (top photo), and
Jean Marinangeli of Arlington Heights, grabbed the overall titles in the 10K, which was the season finale on the CARA Runner's Choice Series circuit of races. Both winners have done well this year and put their championship stamps on a great year with their wins. Ware won in a fleet-feeted 31:12 while Marinangeli was top woman in 36:35.
On the men's side, second through fourth went like this:
Emisael Favela, 32, of Cicero, 31:31;
Lars Juhl, 32, of Chicago, 31:37;
Julius Rotich, 34, Kenya via West Des Moines, Iowa, 32:26; and masters master
Dave Wilson, 40, of Brookfield, 33:03. Two through four for the women were:
Columba Montes, 30, of Chicago (shown in photo at about 3.3 miles with Marinangeli, who is wearing No. 1234), 37:16;
Christina Overbeck, 23, of Chicago, 37:19;
Tammy Lifka, 39, of Glen Ellyn, 39:53; and
Erika Vazquez, 29, of Chicago, 40:26. There were some nice battles in various age groups, and a total of 529 runners finished.

Bob: I surfed around the Sun-Times and your blog, but couldn't find a link to your email address. Perhaps you are well insulated against the rants of crazy people. I would like to send you a review copy of my new novel, "Marathon." Could you contact me through RoadrunnerPress@comcast.net?
