Esposito sets meet record
Ripley gets "mental breakthrough" in 3000
CMAC debut a huge success
WESTMINSTER, April 2 -- Westminster resident and new CMAC member Sherry Esposito showed how good things can be when you get serious about running in the Twilight Series track and field meet at Western Maryland College.
Competing for CMAC, the newly-formed competitive team of the Westminster Road Runners Club, Esposito ran the 800-meter run in 2:22.7, obliterating the previous record of 2:27.1 set by Loyola College athlete Jenn Aversa in 1999.
About an hour later, Esposito took the silver medal in the 3000 run in 10:54.1, behind WMC senior Jill Krebs' time of 10:46.5. Upon graduation this May, both Krebs and Westminster High School graduate Diana Pool -- who was second in the 800 (2:27.2) and third in the 3000 (11:15) -- will join and compete for CMAC.
On the men's side, 34-year-old Westminster resident Doug Ripley recorded a 9:58.6 in the 3000, just 1.9 seconds behind winner Jan-Michael Walker of York (Pa.) College.
More important than his placing, however, was his feeling, as Ripley felt he had recorded a "mental breakthrough" and felt highly motivated for this weekend's competition in College Park, Md.
Also competing for CMAC was Kevin Spradlin, 23, who set a PR in the 1500 by finishing sixth in 5:08.1.
