NOTC Teams Fare Well at the Azalea Trail 10K
The 32nd Annual Azalea Trail Run, held Saturday, March 28, 2009 in Mobile, AL,
was attended by hundreds of runners from Louisiana. The ATR Race Director in
association with host club the Port City Pacers should be credited for a good
call in delaying the start by 1-1/2 hours due to heavy rains and flooding during
the early morning hours prior to the race. At 9:30 AM the event went off.
In the team divisions the NOTC women's team captured first place. Team members
were Santilla Victorian, Kelly Nicholas, Heidi Howe and Jennifer Brizzolara.
Mobile's Team Spiridon took 2nd place, followed by New Orleans Catch-22
(Megan Broussard, Colleen Millegan and Lisa Luongo) in 3rd place, the Gulf Coast
Running Club 4th and Catch 22 in 5th with (Kimaree Long, Mary Rome and Karah
Lindbergh). In the men's division Mobile's Team Spiridon captured first with
the NOTC Men's team a close 2nd. The NOTC team members were Brendan Minihan,
Jr., Sean Fitzwilliam, Sean Allerton and Don Quintana. Mobile-Team Spirdon
took third, followed by the Gulf Coast Running Club 4th and Catch 22 in 5th
(Jace Gohres, Bill Plunkett, Doug Holmes).
Thanks to NOTC Team Coordinator Ken Mire for putting together two good club
