Winners. Overall: Rick Thibodeau 16:03 before a cheering crowd of a few hundred, six seconds inside his own Juneau 5-K best of 16:09 from the 1993 Governor's Cup and a minute and seven seconds faster than his winning time the year before. Second: Paul Pusich 16:22. Third: Phillip Millard. Women: Veronica Mendieta 19:53, 24th overall, with Karen Nanseth and Colleen Jones following her home. Fastest 14-and-under: Christian Kolden 18:37, 15th. Thibodeau on the pace: "Early on Paul Pusich definitely pushed the pace. He was running hard up Main Street and down 12th. He really pulled us along. I had to run hard to catch him." Mendieta was bound for the University of Northern Idaho that autumn on a track scholarship. She had not trained for this and meant to treat it as a fun run: "But when I get in a race, I can't help but getting competitive. It's a really nice event." Furthest travelled: Richard LeMay of Lincolnshire, England took home a five-pound bar of chocolate donated by a downtown business. He had thought some Alaskans "a bit daft - well, no problem", and tried to stay with Mendieta: "I couldn't keep up with her. Tried, but she overtook me going up the hill." Also: Guy Thibodeau finished 284th in 41:00, alongside Greta Thibodeau in the same time. Times: two, at 133rd and 265th, are printed in the Empire in a way that cannot be right and are recorded as printed with a note on each. Sources: "Thibodeau fastest in Fools Run" by Richard F. Schmitz, Juneau Empire, Monday 19 June 1995, page 9; and the finish list, page 10. |
