Giulianos Sweep March Madness

Ray and Jacqui Giuliano of Oakwood Hills, IL, took home the bacon on Sunday at the highly competitive Hillstriders March Madness Half Marathon in northwest suburban Cary. The cultish-hilly race was run in chilly temps, not mot much wind and no snow! Ryan G., 28, won the overall title going away with an outstanding 1:08:57.15. Jacqui G., 26, took the women's title in 1:22:10.44. Nice job to a winning couple! Runner-up on the men's side was Rob Wiley, 37, of Gurnee, in 1:11:55.16, and third place was earned by Jeff Bailey, 28, of Chicago, in 1:14:22.42. Second in the women's field was Tammy Lifka, 42, of Glen Ellyn, in 1:24:06.00. Third went to Wendy Jaehn, 38, of Chicago, in 1:24:40.44. If you look at the results, they're loaded with time tested runners who ran strong races. Congrats to all.
