2005 Colonie Mile
by Chris Rush
Tuesday, July 12, Colonie, NY: another hot, humid summer evening and time again for the annual HMRRC Colonie Mile – the lone chance for the faster twitch contingent to sneak away with a few Grand Prix points. This marked the 22nd running of the Colonie Mile, and the 39th year that the extraordinary series of recreational track meets have been made available to the running community by the Town of Colonie Parks and Recreation Department.
The CM is not for the faint of heart or
the claustrophobic. It took five large
heats to accommodate the 217 individuals, athletes of all ages, shapes and
sizes, who wanted to test their mettle on this hot and muggy evening. The fourth of five heats actually sent off 62
runners with the crack of starter Don Romano’s gun. The other four heats saw off the following
numbers of runners: 34 (1st heat), 42 (2nd heat), 31(3rd
heat), and 48 (5th heat). A
small handful of the truly hard core actually ran in more than one heat.
Not all of the 217 runners were
actually competing in the HMRRC Colonie Mile.
Of all that toed the starting line, less than half, 98 registered their
finish times for the club event.
The heat and humidity did not seem to
bother the lead runners in the first heat, which was designated for those hoping
to break 5 minutes and 30 seconds. The
anticipated match-up between the eventual overall winner, Brian Rhodes-Devey,
and the previous week’s winner in 4:13, Rob Cloutier, recently of University of
Tennessee and a graduate of Shenendahowa did not materialize. However,
Rhodes-Davey’s CM winning time of 4:20.8 was indeed impressive for the
16-year-old from Guilderland High School. HMRRC President Bob Irwin turned in a
classy 4:29.7 to take the men’s Sub-masters’ (30-9) group, while Derek Staley
continued to dominate the 40-9 year-olds with a 4:39.9. Rob Colburn won the 50-9 title in 5:08.7,
with Saratoga’s Stan Westoff taking over the 60-9 year-olds in 6:05.1. Wade Stockman won the 70 plus men (which Bob
McFarland has successfully tagged as the “Jurassics”) in a respectable 6:50.
The women were not to be outdone in
performance excellence. Lisa Daniello, a
Niskayuna High School grad currently competing for Marist College, led the Open
women in 5:07.3 Emily Bryans took Sub-master honors in 5: 20.4. Nancy Taromena,
(5:50.7) was the women’s Masters winner.
Cynthia Finnegan (6:48.4) won the 50-59, and HMRRC Hall-of-Famer Annie
Stockman swept up the rest in 8:08.4.
Ken Skinner once again served as “Race
Director” for the event, with the assistance of Ed Neiles. The customary iced Gator-ade was appreciated
by all. Last of all, a very special note
of thanks should go to the regular crew that make the Colonie meets happen year
after year: Frank Myers, Sandy Morley, Mary Beth Steffen, Lynn Ogren, Doug Hadley
and Don Romano. What a gift to the
running community!
