Carolina Godiva Track Club All-Comers Meet, August 3, 2002
A year after losing the team title to the Durham School of the Arts, Godiva regained team laurels. The main reason is that in 2002 famed Ironpersons and the "first family of running in N.C.," (Barbara Hindenach, Tom Kirby, and Conrad Kirby), the mainstays of the 2001 DSA team, returned to the CGTC fold and racked up their usual large haul of ribbons. In addition, Hindenach captured the NC/USAT&F 5K racewalking championship, adding real cash to her many awards. Racewalking newcomer, Tony Hackney proved to be a fast learner as he captured the mens 5K racewalk.
As always, the many volunteers who spent a miserable, hot and humid morning at the DA track made the All-Comers meet possible. My warm thanks to: Charles Alden, Kim Brewsaugh, Chris Crowder, Mark Dessauer, Peter Klopfer, Grace Mutz, Paul Naylor, Joanne Piscitelli, John Schreiber, Gary Schultz, Heather Sherrard, Don Thomas, and Rachel Warriner. Special thanks to Chris Crowder for getting NC/USAT&F certification for the 5K racewalking championship. My apologies if I left anyone out.
