Highest VFAC placings ever in the Sun Run!

The Sun Run always brings on the superlatives, as a whole and within VFAC. This 25th Anniversary year was no exception, as the race is now some 56,000 strong, and VFACers Kristina Rody and Jay MacDonald were the 4th female and 12th male among them! Also way up in the percentiles were Katherine Moore as 11th overall female, Chessa Adsit-Morris as 15th overall female, and Helen Ritchie as 3rd overall masters female. Out of a total of 34 VFAC participants, 14 women (yes, the women get all the priority press here!) and 8 men placed among the top 100 overall females and top 100 overall males, 16 placed in the top 10 in their age divisions, and to the best of my rather anally retentive knowledge, 14 had personal bests! Well done all! Highlights are as follows: Jay MacDonald 30:57 PB, 12th Overall M, 1st M30-34 Kevin O’Connor 33:20, 39th Overall M, 3rd M40-44 Phil Dickens 33:29 PB, 44th Overall M, Brendon Chrus 33:52 PB, 55th Overall M Mike Wood 33:55 PB, 57th Overall M Kristina Rody 34:26 PB?, 4th Overall F, 2nd Canadian female ($1000), VFAC Female Record Benjamin Maas 34:53, 75th Overall M Phil Oreopoulos 35:01, 76th Overall M, 7th M35-39 Dave Stephens 35:12, 84th Overall M, 2nd M50-54 Chris Brandt 36:01 PB, 9th M35-39 Katherine Moore 36:22 PB, 11th Overall F, 5th F30-34 Jo Astoria 36:37 John Atkinson 36:40 Chessa Adsit-Morris 37:59 PB, 15th Overall F, 4th F25-29 Brian Devereux 38:11 Catherine Watkins 38:30 PB, 20th Overall F, 4th F35-39 Helen Ritchie 38:46, 23rd Overall F, 3rd Overall Master F ($250), 2nd F40-44 Rebecca Reid 39:17 PB, 29th Overall F, 3rd F40-44 Nancy Fedoruk 39:22, 30th Overall F, 9th F25-29 Shu Sanantani 39:23 Laura DeMunain 39:39, 34th Overall F, 6th F35-39 Janette Purdham 39:51 PB, 38th Overall F, 4th F40-44 Mirabelle Tinio 40:56 PB, 50th Overall F, 10th F30-34 Jacquie Lewis 41:59, 65th Overall F, 9th F40-44 Sophie Dansereau 42:16, 71st Overall F Alex Lea 43:12, 93rd Overall F Heather Wilson 43:14, 94th Overall F James Howson 44:43 PB, Trevor Fenton 44:53 PB
