UCF FIVE MILER OFFERS COOL SURPRISE


The Downtown YMCARunners competed in the latest installment in the Track Shack Grand Prix Series on Sunday, October 19. The U Can Finish Five Miler follows a circuitous route in and around the University of Central Florida. This race provides a glimpse of the storied campus of UCF, renowned for its historic architecture and ivy clad buildings reminiscent of Yale or Harvard (UCF is often referred to as the "Princeton of East Orlando"). As with this year's Miracle Miles 15k, U Can Finish was blessed with unseasonably cool temperatures that helped our runners take home plenty of Grand Prix hardware. Here are their results:

Patrick Marshall, 26:13 (4th overall, 1st Age Group)
Bill Vanos, 29:01 (1st Age Group)
Aleks Markovic, 29:53
Bruce Geise, 30:37
Brent Schmierbach, 30:40 (3rd Age Group)
EJ Wunderlich, 31:49
Danny Wardeh, 31:54
Brian Furgala, 32:07
Kathy Gagnier, 32:35 (Grand Masters Champ)
Cesar Estrada, 32:52
John Napolitano, 32:58
Oneal Barnett, 33:54
Carey Rothschild, 35:08
Rod Jaeger, 35:10
