CICKEY AND CAPECCI SET COURSE RECORDS AT DOYLESTOWN 5K

Jessica Cickey (Newtown) and Keith Capecci (New Hope) were the
overall female and male winners of the Doylestown Red, White, and
Blue 5K on May 24th. They both set course records. Jessica was
timed in 17:46, a full 4 seconds off the previous record set in 2003
by Shannon Grady. Keith crossed the finish line in 15:20. This tied
Todd Wiley's record set in 2002.

The Doylestown race was the 5th race in the Panera Bread Bucks 5K
Series. It was the largest Series race ever, with 728 registered
runners. It was also the second race in a row where Capecci broke or
tied a course record. He previously set a new standard for the
SERTOMA 5K on Doylestown Township's Central Park course.

Todd Wiley (Doylestown) finished second in Doylestown with a time of
16:23.

Nancy Smith (New Britain) was second behind Cickey with a time of
19:46. Nancy also was the top female masters and had the highest age-
graded masters rating, an outstanding 86.7%. Gert Freas (North
Wales) was second in the female masters and had the second highest
age-graded female masters rating, 20:17 and 81.4%, respectively.

Johnny King-Marino (Chalfont) was the male masters winner with a time
of 17:07. Johnny also had the highest age-graded masters rating –
84.1%. Carl Goldschmidt (Doylestown) had the second best age-graded
masters rating (79.2%) and Dave Dixon was second to King-Marino in
17:59.

With 2 races to go, the Panera Bread Bucks 5K Series championship is
still wide open. On the men's side, Antonio De Vido (Doylestown),
Greg Wetzel (Doylestown), and Capecci are still in the thick of it.
For the women, it's between Smith and Sarah Simonetti (Perkasie).

The tightest age group was the male 30-34, where the top 3 finishers
were 8, 9, and 10 overall. They were Scott Keyser (Telford), Bob
Pultorack (Perkasie) and Ben Derby (Dublin) with times of 17:17,
17:33, and 17:36 respectively. As to be expected, these 3 are
battling it out for the Series 30-34 age group championship.

In the female under 12 age group, Elizabeth Huuki (Pipersville),
Jackie Kinkead (Furlong) and Katryn Bowen (Doylestown) finished in
24:15, 24:26, and 24:49. Elizabeth and Jackie are battling for the
Series title in their age group.

As is usual with the Doylestown race, the Adamsky family turned out
en masse. There were 10 in all, with brothers Brian, Tim, Greg, and
Rick turning in times between 19:23 and 21:30.
