i 6 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, Wednesday, June 17,1992 Exciting Finish Highlights 5th Statesman-Museum Fund Run by Brad Kelly Sunday's 5th Annual Bowmanville Bowmanville Museum Fund Run took every metre of the 10km course before a winner could be declared. In fact, it wasn't until the last 10 metres of the race that the outcome was decided. It doesn't get much closer. Andrew Rorke and Jeff Hay turned onto Wellington Street for the final stretch drive, with Rorke holding a slight edge. The two were shoulder-to-shoulder as they sprint ed the final 50 metres. But, with a late surge, Hay managed to slip by Rorke and cross the finish line in first place with a time of 34.00. Rorke was a step behind in 34.01. "I was in the lead the whole race after the first kilometre, but he, (Hay) just got by me in the end," said Rorke, 33, who was pleased with his second place finish. Earlier this year, he competed in the Boston marathon for the second straight time, finishing the course in a lime of 3:08. "It was a very challenging course," said Hay, a 26-year-old Oshawa resident. "It was a nice atmosphere atmosphere through the country with all the rolling hills.." Hay, who competes in triathlons, is a newcomer to road racing. "I've never done a 10km in my life, so this was definitely a good time for me." Frank Webster finished third in a time of 34.42, while Doug Laing in 35:36 and Dan Moriarity in 35:48 rounded out the top five. It was a successful day all around for organizers of the race that attracted attracted 57 runners. It was a make-or-break year for the event, as the number of participants participants had begun to dwindle the past couple of years. But, early indications indications are that'it will return again next year. "Obviously we'd like a few more runners, but everything went just great. We couldn't ask for better weather or race," said one of the organizers, organizers, Ellen Logan. "A lot of work is involved in holding the race, and we said that if we didn't get a higher number than last year we would review (whether to hold it). We didn't get as good as we hoped, but we may go again next year because this year's turned out so well." The top female in the race was Kim Haagmans, a 26-ycar-old. Oshawa resident, who posted a time of 40:45. Like Hay, she too is a tri- athlete, who doesn't compete in road races very often. "It was a great course and was really well marked," she said. "I didn't think that it was really that tough, though." Despite finishing first, Haagmans wasn't overly pleased with her time, noting, "that time isn't good for a 10km race." In the over-40 category, Bill Weir took top honours in a time of 36:10, with Rick Floody finishing second in 37:03. On the women's over-40 side, Janet Woolner was tops with a time of 42:19. Sandra Shearer placed second second in 43:02. Kim Haagmans was the top female in Sunday's race, completing, the 10km course in a time of 40:45. for first place then dropped to a tie Thp I pcrinn nrinipe hart nnp nf for fourth all in the span of six days Chris Pot came on in relief of mound with the game tied at three, those wedcs as thev moved into a üe and four games.
