DCRRC Burke Lake 12K
Burke Lake, VA, Sunday, March 13, 2005

Greg Useem, 24, of Chapel Hill NC ran 40:52 to win the DCRRC Burke Lake 12K on Sunday, March 13, on the day the gray winter sky finally turned Carolina Blue. Wakefield High School's former star, Mudasar Haidat, 19, now at Virginia Intermountain College, nearly caught him, finishing second in 40:53, just one tick behind.

For once, the course was merely muddy, unlike the last three snow-covered years.

Jessica Short, 24, of Arlington VA cruised to victory among the women with a 50:28, well ahead of DCRRC 2005 most improved female runner Toni Marie Diegoli, 26, of Arlington VA, second in 52:36 and DCRRC 2005 outstanding female runner Yuko Takakusaki, 37, also of Arlington, third in 52:49. Farther back was DCRRC 2005 outstanding female master Priscila Prunella, 61, of Rockville MD, 88th overall in 1:03:14.

Race director George Getek assembled a feast after the race, featuring bananas, cookies, fig bars, Gatorade, Green and Orange soda and bagels from both Chesapeake Bagel Bakery and Einstein Bros.
