Union Mills 8K, 4 November 2007.
Brown, Baker Bash Competition at Union Mills.
Karsten Brown repeated his 2006 win and Ashley Baker won by over five minutes as they dominated the field at the Union Mills 8K, held on November 4.
Karsten pushed his way through the one mile mark in 6:01, fifteen seconds ahead of Westminster High runner Ryan Taylor and thirty seconds ahead of Tom Yinger. All other males by this time were in a different area code.
Not content with such a slow first mile, Karsten ran the rest of the race at a sub 6:00 per mile pace. Reaching the four mile mark in 23:40, he was almost two and a half minutes ahead of Taylor, who led Yinger by twenty seconds.
At the finish line Karsten's margin was over three minutes, and his winning time was twenty-three seconds better than last year's. Taylor finished twenty-three seconds ahead of Yinger (those numbers are correct), with Spencer Hamblen outsprinting first masters runner Bob Leatherman to the finish to finish fourth.
Baker, whose 7:19 time at the one mile mark placed her fourth overall and with a thirty-five second lead over Linda Morris, slowed slightly during the remainder of the race. She was, however, never threatened, finishing seventh overall with a 7:30 per mile pace and a five minute and twenty-one second margin.
Morris finished second as the first masters runner by a very narrow margin over last year's winner Chrissy Pennington. While Pennington's time for this year's race was four minutes and fifteen seconds slower than last year's, the fact that only two months ago she was still carrying young Sadie Pennington is probably a valid reason for the difference. Chrissy vows to do better at the next race, which will be a four mile run at 9:00 am on November 18 at Runnymede Elementary School.
