Legends Appear To Honor Well-Known Educator, Runnerby The KidChuck Crabb, Herb Lorenz, Browning Ross, Tom Osler, Walt Pierson, Larry Delaney and the Lanier twins just to name a few. A who's who of South Jersey running legends - both young and old - came out for the inaugural Bill Kile's Memorial Run July 26 under sunny skies at Cooper River Park in Pennsauken to honor a respected educator, dedicated runner and person loved by many. "I had goose bumps seeing all those great runners," said Jane Hoopes, of the Athlete's Korner Sports Timing Systems in Hammonton, who helped organize and donated her finish line services for the race. "I had chills down my spine. It's hard to explain it. It was a very emotional day." It was no surprise to see Crabb, 40, a Pineland Striders' running club member from Hainesport, enter the stadium's cinder track out in front of the field of 129 finishers. Crabb, who was featured in the August issue of Runner's World, covered the TAC-certified four-mile loop course in a winning time of 20 minutes and 6 seconds. One of the best runners in not only South Jersey, but also in the Northeast region, Crabb was followed by Kareem and Kyle Lanier, 24-year-old twin brothers formerly of Willingboro. Kareem was second in 21:11, eight seconds ahead of his brother, Kyle. Other top 10 men finishers were Brian Mosher, 33, Marlton (4th-21:30); Craig Moyer, 25, Lansdale, Pa. (5th-21:50); Benjamin Huddell, 39, Collingswood (6th-21:56); Robert Ward, 37, Clayton (7th-22:16); Patrick Seaney, 42, Cherry Hill (8th-22:31); Jason Griscom, 17, Swedesboro (9th-22:59) and Bob Cannava, 43, Mount Laurel (10th-23:19). Doreen McCoubrie, 35, of Haddonfield captured the women's division of 42 participants with her l4th-place time of 24 minutes and 26 seconds. Shawnee High School graduate Lauren Fittz, 19, of Medford was second at 26:46 (30th place), followed by Antionette Elton, 24, Cherry Hill (36th-27:32); Barbara Addis, 34, Sicklerville (41st-28:19); Betty Williams, 52, Medford (43rd-28:21); Theresa DeRoberts, 37, Mount Laurel (46th-28:52); Linda Stanfill, 39, Mount Laurel (47th-28:57); Jan Smith, 26, Haddon Heights (55th-30:18): Marsha Ayers, 49, Medford (60th-30:36) and Diane Hardies, 51, Marlton (61st-30:52).

Congratulations First Scholarship Winnersby The KidThe first recipients of The William H. Kile, Jr. Humanitarian Scholarship Fund were announced at Pennsauken High School graduation ceremonies in June. The award is to be granted to a graduating senior who exemplifies the qualities for which Bill Kile was so noted and loved. These qualities include, but are not limited to, kindness, compassion, selflessness, thoughtfulness, and a consistently positive and upbeat manner. High school graduates Kieu Cao and Emmett Dweh, both of Pennsauken, each won cash awards of $250, while Howard Pfeifer Middle School graduate William Smith of Pennsauken received a $50 cash award. Dweh was an honorary starter at this year's race, which raised more than $3,000 for the scholarship fund (now the largest such memorial fund at the school). A special thank you goes out to Barbara DeFranco at Pennsauken High School for providing me with the information on the scholarship winners. Hope to see you next year!
