Sandymount 4-miler, 5 May 2007. While he doesn't come from Front Royal for every club race, when Karsten Brown does come, he comes to win, and for the second time in recent months, he and Ashley Baker captured the lead places in a club four mile run, this time at Sandymount on May 5. On a gorgeous Saturday morning, Karsten did what he usually does well, grab the lead early and expand it. On the way to the turnaround in beautiful, downtown Reese, he led Scott Koening, Austin Raymond, and Alan Pobletts by a healthy margin, with Rodney Williams trailing in fifth. On the return portion of the race, Karsten was never pressed, winning by forty seconds, as the only major change involved Raymond and Pobletts, with Alan, the lead masters runner in the race, moving into third and spending the rest of the race close behind Koenig. Raymond finished over a minute ahead of Williams as the last runners to run a sub-seven minute pace. Baker and Stephanie Duncan, who recently finished together in the top ten female positions of the Main Street Mile, spent the first part of the race running together, well ahead of Sherry Clower and Lilly Li. During the return portion, Duncan manufactured a small lead, only to see Baker pass her during the last part of the race to win by four seconds. Clower ran by herself the whole race to finish third, and Li finished fourth as the first masters runner. The oldest and slowest runners, Sam Case and David Herlocker, avoided being the last runners across the finish line the only way they could, by starting early and keeping their own time. Herlocker even used his dog to pull him along. After the race the dog spent most of the afternoon sleeping, given the hard workout during the race.
