HCS All Fruit Relay - 4 x 2M

Columbia, MD, May 27, 2002

Results courtesy of the Howard County Striders.

The clouds gave way to sunshine for Howard County Striders annual All Fruit Relay, named for the fruit batons ranging from grapes to bananas. The Vikings team from Mt Hebron won by a large margin, averaging a remarkable 5:35 pace. Team Hunt, led by dad, Bud Hunt, finished 12th with the help of his 3 sons. A number of Oakland Mills runners were racing today, due in part to the encouragement of coach, Phil Lang. Steven Olenick deserves credit for running the 1st and last legs of King Cobra's 3 person team and still nailing 3rd place in a competitive race. Weekly regulars, the Bowler and Esposito families, teamed up with Joe Esposito running the final leg. We thank Bill Arbelaez for painting fresh course marks.
