Gunhild had an amazing year after coming back from foot surgery. She ran Newman Lake in 2:25:48, finishing first in her age group. She participated in all of the races in the Cross Country Series, and ran the Colbert ½ in a time of 1:51:58, another first in her age group. Gunhild also completed the Uncle Joe ultra marathon with a time of 6:19:31, and the Seattle Marathon in a time of 4:08:46 (second in her age group). She finished first in her age group at the Sandpoint half marathon with a time of 1:53:30.

Robert's accomplishments this past year were truly remarkable. He not only competed in almost every local race, he also rode his bicycle to the majority of them as a warm-up. He finished Saint Paddy's in a time of 39:24, first in his age group. Robert ran the mile in a time of 6:42.8 at the Festival of Miles. He ran Newman Lake in a time of 2:18:14, and Colbert half in a time of 1:50:04. He finished first in his age group in the Spokane half marathon with a time of 1:51:37, and the Snake River half in a time of 1:51:30. Robert finished third in his age group at Bloomsday in a time of 1:01:21. Perhaps Robert's most impressive accomplishment this past year was his performance at Troika where his time was 6:46:41.

Who in our club is more deserving of this award? Joan spends countless hours working to support our club. She is involved in all of our races- preparing race numbers, working registrations, and calculating results. She is also the Race Director for Saint Paddy's and Sundae Sunday. Joan spends many hours doing data entry for Bloomsday, publishes the Race Rag, and has been our club's Treasurer for who knows how long. Joan does so much for our club that it isn't possible to keep track of all she does. Thanks, Joan.
