Feets of Strength

As you know, this is the section of The Vulcan Runner where we celebrate the accomplishments of our members. Whether it’s a place on the podium, a personal record, a first race or a new distance, there are no feets too small to mention, so please send in those accomplishments (and a photo, if you’d like) each month via the website!

Let’s give a great big BTC high five to Matthew McCullough for finishing his very first marathon! Matthew ran the Soldier Marathon in Columbus, Georgia on November 7 with a 4:21:12 finish time. Congratulations Matthew!

Congratulations to John Andress, son of BTC Past President Jennifer Andress and Keith Andress, for his stellar performance in the Vulcan Run!  John was a Top 200 finisher and placed first in his age group with a 45:40 time!  These things must “run” in the family, because Jennifer also placed 3rd in her age group at the Vulcan Run.  Way to go, Andress Family!

Kudos to BTC Finish Line Coordinator and The Vulcan Runner contributor Tanya Sylvan recently earned her belt buckle at the Pinhoti 100, completing her first 100 mile race.  Read more about Tanya’s adventures in her Pinhoti race recap in this issue of The Vulcan Runner. Cheers to many miles and even more smiles!
