Thanks, Dan - Mini-Marathon Article

[gdbrown]

A note of thanks to Dan for writing the article on the Cumberland City Mini-Marathon.

In a limited space, Dan did a superb job of integrating the history of the stadium in the article as it relates to T&F.

Please note that the highlights listed in the article are not all-inclusive. Those of us who provided information to Dan know that, and I know Dan does also.

I can think of several additional people who are not listed in the article, but played significant roles on their respective teams while competing at Greenway Avenue Stadium. Steve Kirk, Lynn Bridges, Michelle Barrett, Mark Aaman, Brian Shrout, Justin Taylor, Eric Taylor, Erin Davis, Nora Sams, "the Whartons" (all AHS), Mike Mocci, Mike Page, Noah Reed, Matt Cline, Bruce Dotson, Vicky Avey, Bill Avey (all FH), Bernie Dorsey (BW), etc.

Please feel free to add to the list if you know of others.

Bottom line: "The Stadium" has a rich 73 year history, and we hope you will add to the history when you compete in the Second Annual Cumberland City Mini-Marathon to be held on Saturday, April 24th.

I also enjoyed reading Dan's article. I think the athletes and performances mentioned in the article (and in George Brown's subsequent post) are especially notable because they inspire future generations of athletes. For me, Scott Yockus was a huge inspiration. Were it not for Scott, it's unlikely I would have considered competing as a distance runner at Bishop Walsh. Many years and many races later, it's remarkable to consider the debt I owe Scott for this inspiration.
