COLTON -- Youth ruled this year at the 17th running of the Colton 10-Mile Road Race Jan. 26.
At race time it was 9 degrees F with cold, snow-globe-type snow showers and light wind. Roads were lightly snow covered over hard-packed snow and ice, making for a slow surface.
First-time runner in the event, 20-year-old New Hampshire resident and current Clarkson University student Seth Richardson captured the race in 1:01:38, the sixth-fastest time ever in the male 20-29 age group and 11th fastest ever overall.
Second overall was defending champion 22 year old Jake Erdman, a Clarkson graduate from Gouverneur, in 1:02:20, which is now the seventh-fastest time in the male 20-29 age group and 16th fastest ever overall. Third place finisher Jack Broderick of Victor, a current student at Clarkson University, ran 1:06:41, which places him at 48th fastest overall in course history.
On the women’s side, 29-year-old Victoria Lederer of Canton this year picked up her first win in 1:13:02, even though she has run several of the race’s fastest times in previous years. She finished fourth overall this year. Her time this year is the sixth-fastest in the female 20-29 age group and 17th-fastest overall for females. In a very close second to Victoria in the women’s race was another Clarkson student and first-time participant 20-year-old Kelsey Wenger of Orchard Park in 1:13:29, which places her ninth fastest in the female 20-29 age group and 20th fastest ever overall for women. Kelsey was also noted as the youngest female finisher. With a time of in 1:27:08, women’s third place went to an ever-improving local, 35-year-old Leslie Whitton of Hermon, whom race reporters Dan and Renee Dominie say has one of the busiest work / life schedules out there.
First-time race participant 51-year-old Darlene Yee of Sainte-Cecile-de-Masham, Quebec ran 1:27:40 to place fifth female overall and now eighth-fastest time in the female 50-59 age group.
Another first timer and youngest finisher was 13-year-old Lance Bradley of Norfolk who ran 1:24:22 for 14th place overall and 2nd place in the male 19 and under age group, a mere 6 seconds behind the age group winner, 19-year-old Matt Strempel of Marcellus.
The ever-inspirational Jean Bernaquez of Montreal, age 86, was the oldest competitor ever. with a time of 2:21:20. That is the sixth-fastest time recorded in the male 80 and over age group. This year's race also saw Jean’s close friend and traveling companion, 79-year-old Hugh Wilson of Dorval, Quebec, competing in his last Colton men’s 70-79 age group race, running 2:12:56 for second place in the division to age-group newcomer Peter Feickert of Canton, who ran 1:32:31, good for fourth fastest time ever in that age category.
Lyn Short of Canton, a 68-year-old local running legend, was the oldest female finisher and first in the female 60-69 age group in 1:47:31.
