by Joe Prusaitis, RD Smithville, TX April 26, 2003 Rocky Hill Ranch 50K & 25K Trail Runs always seems to start summer for us in the Texas Hill Country. Our 3rd year was not much different than the other two. A damp mist on the ground led to a very comfortable start at sunrise for 225 runners. All frost is removed by Fat Chuck’s Demise in the first mile. The second loop was much hotter as temps soured to the low 90s. Matt Harrington 3:51:00 seemed to have way to much fun on his way to topping his own course record. Bill Gardner 4:06:30 and Todd Gerlach 4:07:42 finished second & third. Megan Haley 4:51:06 won first female. Bridget DelaRosa 5:12:08 & Rebecca Watkins 5:48:18 finished second & third. Steve Sisson 1:44:06 won the 25K, followed by Ray Woodall 1:47:20 & Jorge Alvarado 1:49:31 in second & third. Julee Pollock 2:04:19 lowered the course record she set last year. She was followed by Bonnie Howarth 2:08:42 & Lynn Doelger 2:08:54, all under the previous course record. RHR prides itself in its care for the runners, and again provided the best in on course service. Bottles were filled with ice & drinks, ice bags were handed out, popcicles, home-made colaches from our very own running chef Slammin Sammy at Sammy’s Kitchen (mile 10). Sam also cooked up brisket & sausage for the volunteers but also for any runner who wanted to put on some weight. Joyce took care of the Naked Ape station (mile 5), while Doug managed the finish aid station. Brice entertained at the crossroads water stop. Chris, Leslie, & Kreutz Photography wandered the course taking hundreds of pictures, our sag bike riders assisted any who were confused and to keep us informed where everyone was. Carroll handled registration. Kyle provided efficient results, Jim is our head GoFer, and Jack provided everything else, including the large shade tent at the finish. There were many others. The scope of what all takes place fills a small book. The mood and camaraderie between runners, workers, and crews is truly an awesome feeling. It feels so good that I think I’ll do it again next year. /joe prusaitis jprusaitis@austin.rr.com 50 K Results Split 50K Bib Place Name Age Sex City State 1:50:19 3:51:00 1 1 Matt Harrington 35 M Austin TX 2:01:43 4:06:30 63 2 Bill Gardner 40 M Garden Ridge TX 2:03:59 4:07:42 77 3 Todd Gerlach 34 M Austin TX 2:02:43 4:11:29 16 4 Robert King 42 M Porter TX 2:09:07 4:22:24 17 5 Craig Robertson 43 M Helotes TX 2:03:01 4:30:29 8 6 Carlos Ibarra 32 M Houston TX 2:00:17 4:37:42 48 7 Ryan Loehding 30 M Sugar Land TX 2:07:59 4:39:10 41 8 Stephen Baumgartner 30 M Houston TX 2:05:52 4:45:29 3 9 Tracy Shaff 40 M Austin TX 2:14:54 4:49:39 58 10 Craig Cooper 37 M New Braunfels TX 2:17:11 4:51:06 21 11 Megan Haley 38 F Austin TX 2:16:30 4:53:00 7 12 German Collazos 45 M Houston TX 2:16:30 5:05:04 56 13 John Pemberton 33 M Harker Heights TX 2:30:28 5:05:47 75 14 Gene Johnson 43 M San Antonio TX 2:29:30 5:09:55 89 15 Pierre Koutani 37 M Houston TX 2:30:13 5:11:14 27 16 Bart Childers 43 M San Antonio TX 2:17:23 5:12:00 11 17 Mark Lindsey 46 M Austin TX 2:23:08 5:12:08 87 18 Bridget DelaRosa 29 F San Antonio TX 2:16:51 5:20:48 46 19 Archie Phillips 42 M San Antonio TX 2:23:25 5:21:45 84 20 Michael Hayes 28 M San Antonio TX 2:19:25 5:23:49 74 21 David Macaulay 41 M Houston TX 2:26:10 5:27:43 86 22 Daryl Lazauskas 39 M Magnolia TX 2:33:19 5:28:04 68 23 Homero Gonzalez 55 M Houston TX 2:26:54 5:29:12 91 24 Jeff Farrell 42 M Austin TX 2:38:13 5:30:06 45 25 Sean Mallett 34 M Bastrop TX 2:07:32 5:31:50 44 26 Chris Wood 36 M Pearland TX 2:20:30 5:33:22 30 27 Jay Langford 48 M Manor TX 2:26:05 5:38:26 31 28 Mark Raymond 40 M Austin TX 2:24:28 5:38:59 78 29 Fred Ward 59 M Houston TX 2:40:09 5:39:52 43 30 Elroy Whitworth 51 M Bastrop TX 2:17:01 5:41:16 14 31 Paul Movroydis 43 M Wellborn TX 2:17:55 5:47:21 10 32 Rick Quiroga 42 M Santa Rosa TX 2:38:21 5:48:18 2 33 Rebecca Watkins 26 F Kingwood TX 2:26:03 5:48:55 20 34 Henry Hobbs 47 M Bastrop TX 2:26:52 5:52:18 9 35 Donald Griffiths 53 M Missouri City TX 2:24:56 5:53:20 57 36 Stuart Skeeter 32 M Houston TX 2:33:48 5:54:54 36 37 Ricky Pampo 28 M Baton Rouge LA 2:33:50 5:54:54 37 38 Amanda Perron 29 F Baton Rouge LA 2:44:53 5:56:26 34 39 Diana Heynen 48 F Austin TX 2:41:08 5:59:24 47 40 Jeri Cornelius 38 F Austin TX 2:29:30 5:59:53 90 41 Zouheir Zeidan 36 M Houston TX 2:23:25 5:59:59 82 42 James Hughes 36 M Orange TX 2:45:40 6:00:10 22 43 Kelly Galloway 31 M Austin TX 2:49:15 6:00:14 80 44 Lawrence Maher 38 M Houston TX 3:04:38 6:01:05 83 45 Mariela Botella 37 F Houston TX 2:46:23 6:03:45 85 46 Kelly Woodmansee 33 F Houston TX 2:26:11 6:07:03 88 47 Troy Pfeiferling 40 M Woodlands TX 2:53:50 6:08:03 17 48 Sarah Brown 34 F Fort Worth TX 2:46:32 6:11:33 79 49 Paul Stone 41 M Bullard TX 2:39:37 6:18:58 6 50 Wes Monteith 51 M Pasadena TX 3:01:03 6:19:51 69 51 Sylvia Gonzalez 44 F Houston TX 2:40:59 6:22:39 35 52 Robert Heynen 53 M Austin TX 2:59:42 6:25:02 38 53 Ronald Dunbar 52 M Pasadena TX 2:59:44 6:25:02 66 54 J.Rex Lindberg 41 M Pasadena TX 2:49:45 6:25:20 49 55 Patricia Fick 40 F Boerne TX 2:54:59 6:26:22 32 56 Ken Ord 44 M Richardson TX 2:54:59 6:26:22 33 57 Mark Denny 44 M Richardson TX 2:54:59 6:26:22 53 58 James Watson 44 M Richardson TX 2:54:58 6:26:22 183 59 Bill Wells 44 M Dallas TX 3:07:17 6:29:46 42 60 Michelle Wolpert 40 F Houston TX 2:56:39 6:30:34 93 61 Rene Villalobos 0 M Ft.
