"Run For the Arts" 10k--Melbourne Square Mall, Melbourne, FL September 8th, 1984 10k-run Winners take different paths Times Sports Editor The overall men's and women's winners in Saturday's 10-kilometer "Run For the Arts" took separate roads to accomplish their feats. Sue Sayger has been running seriously for the last three years. Keith Witthauer ran while at the University of Utah and brought 14 years of running experience to the starting line. A 1976 graduate of Merritt Island High School, Sayger ran in the area when she was on the Mustang track team. Saturday she was the first woman to cross the finish line. Her 37minuete, 17 second clocking put her 27th overall in a field of 207 that completed the race. The former Utah runner usually doesn't run in Brevard County, preferring to race in the Central Florida area. Yet Witthauer was in the lead a half mile into the race and broke the tape at 31 minuets, and 34 seconds. Roughly two minuets later, second place was taken. The course began and ended at Melbourne Square Mall with most of the running just north of the mall location. Both traveled the route without any trouble. Well, almost. Although the weather was cool and windy Saturday, humidity took its toll on the runners, including the winners. Sayger lives and trains in Gainesville as her husband Mark goes to the University of Florida. She said the conditions up there are perfect; here, she felt the humidity. Witthauer is finally getting use to the climate, but the humidity still bothered him, he said. But they both overcame it. Both have ties to Brevard and thus were here for the race. The stories behind the ties are different, though. If it wasn't for one of her daughters, Katie, Sayger probably wouldn't have been here for the race. Saturday was Katie's sixth birthday and a party celebration was planned in Brevard with Katie's grandparents. Meanwhile, Witthauer came from the West more than a year ago after marrying his wife Pam, who is from Indialantic. He's a substitute teacher, looking for a full-time teaching job, and they presently live in Palm Bay. Witthauer runs with the Athlete's Foot Racing Team. He said his time was the fastest time he has run since he has been here. Last month, he posted a 31:53 time down in Boca. He runs 50 to 60 miles per week and said the key to his success has been no injuries during the last seven years. He said he might be able to run faster if he ran 100 mile weeks like others, but then he'd risk getting injured, he said. Sayger used the race as part of her preparation for another race. In the last few weeks she had run some 900 miles. She said she'll be running a 10k race in the Cayman Islands this weekend. She seemed as excited about her wins as with the prospect of meeting and running in a race with Bill Rodgers, the former premier men's marathon runner in the United States. She's attached to Team Etonic, based out of Boston, Mass. as published by The Times Wednesday, September 12, 1984 Men's Winners Overall Keith Witthauer 10--14 Wes Williams 15--19 Dave Czajka 20--24 Bryan Holmes 25--29 Ed Leaman 30--34 Tom Hoffman 35--39 Jim Graham 40--44 John Bryant 45--49 Kent Morgan 50--54 Tom Howard 55--59 Wally DalSanto 60--64 Charles Brown over 70 David Wood Women's Winners Overall Sue Sayger under 10 Robyn Wood 15--19 Lisa Palmisano 20--24 DeDe Patterson 25--29 Rose Longeran 30--34 Kim McAliley 35--39 Mary Hoffman 40--44 Mary Deffebach 45--49 Gloria Leiboff 55--59 Mary Hatfield 60--64 Louise Murphy Complete Results 1.
