St. Gregory's The Great
Great Race 5K

Williamsville, NY
Friday June 22, 2001

This is the start of the 2001 St. Gregory's The Great "Great Race" 5K in Williamsville. The field was packed tight as sardines with nearly 1,000 runners.

Approaching the finish - GBTC's Dexter Frank pushes the pace with Checker's Jim Schaffstall and Stephen Forrestel.   Dexter's time was 17:17 - a 5:33 per mile pace!

Jeff Yurko strides to an 18:07 finishing time, 2nd best in the club - a 5:50/mile pace which was good enough to take 2nd place in his age group.

Former college teammates John Ryerson and Jeff John ran 18:30 and 18:58 respectively. (Could that really have been 26 years ago?)

Al Palmatier runs a 19:07 - good for 46th place overall, while Hector Bauza coasts home in 20:12.

Sue Devlin finishes in 20:47, good for 1st in her age group!   GBTC's John Dimock (blue shirt) is on his way to a 20:49 clocking while Lori Bauza heads to a 22:33.
