Although the first big snow of the winter held back attendance, children and adults from all over the DC area ran at Sunday's indoor track meet conducted by Potomac Valley Track Club at Thomas Jefferson Community Center in Arlington VA.
Age-graded, 13-year-old Leland Pittman of Germantown MD ran the best race of the day, finishing ahead of everyone in 2:29.2 for 800 meters.
56-year-old Chris Alvord of Reston VA sprinted the 55 meters in 7.8 just ahead of Arlington's "Big" Steve Easley, 47, who trained for his upcoming Austin Marathon by running every event: 7.9 for 55 meters, 5:49.8 for the mile, 2:50.7 for 800m, 1:10.3 for 400m, and 13:04 for 3000m.
In the 3000m, two Arlington runners covered the first mile together before Mike Fox-Boyd, 25, pulled away to win in 9:41.7, with Billy Fisher, 26, second in 10:03.5.
Toni Marie Diegoli, 26, of Arlington and Karen Marie Dickerson, 19, of Springfield dueled in the 3000m, finishing in 11:45.9and 11:48.5.
Ashley Swim, 13, of Clifton VA pulled away in the children's mile to win in 6:25.4 and Ted Poulos, 43, of McLean VA added another lifetime win 5:17.2 in the mile.
The light turnout made possible individual timing, for once. Next meet is Sunday, February 6.
