Meehan's Downtown Melbourne 5Km - March 21, 1992 Melbourne, FL This year's Melbourne Downtown 5 Km was the next race this season to benefit from the cooler than usual weather. 285 runners competed for the "Meehan's Mugs" and consumed 25 pounds of cookies. All entrants received a bright yellow race tee shirt and there was plenty of fresh fruit for the post race festivities. Race director Jim Sumara, with help from Sharon Meehan and the employees at Meehan's Office supply, did an outstanding job as usual. The men's race was typical of the racing season this year with a list of familiar names at the top. It also indicated how competitive the 25-29 year old age group is as all 3 top finishers were 29 years old. Doug Butler cruised to a 8:10 first lap split and then finished up with a new course record, 15:12, which cut 8 seconds off the mark set by Ken Kramer last year. Bill McCord followed Doug across the line and was second in 15:51. Kevin Butler was third overall with a time of 16:04. Lida Dellacroce was the overall woman's winner in a time of 19:34. Her time was not fast enough to break Delight Abreu's overall record of 18:34 set last year, but it was fast to set an age group record. Kathy Titus was the first Space Coast Runner and second overall with a time of 19:44, also an age group record. Cindy Castilow took the first lap in a time of 10:10 and ultimately finished third overall, just 2 seconds behind Cathy, in 19:46. In the age groups several records fell. Justin Powers ran a 22:38 to break the 0-9 record of 24:50. Doug's overall record is also the 25-29 age group record, breaking his old mark of 15:32. Bob Perry ran a 16:28 for fourth overall and a 40-44 age group record, breaking Terry Hayden's record of 17:11. Pete Weishaar set a new 45-49 mark, with his 17:50 lowering the time from 17:51, which was set by Marty Schwam. Earl Cooley ran a 19:09 which was 2 seconds faster than the 50-54 record set by Bob Perez. Tom Moylett came down from New York and finished with Earl to break Bob Hogan's 55-59 age group record of 19:53. In the 60-64 age group, Chuck Kern ran a 20:24 which surpassed Don Dore's 20:53. Cassie Lee set a new 0-9 age group record of 21:35 which was almost four minutes faster than 25:21 set by Jennifer Gilkes. Summer Mack broke her own record of 21:59 by exactly a minute with a 20:59 performance. Linda Dellacroce broke the 20-24 record set by Leah Howard by over a minute as did Kathy Titus who broke Liz Gaudy's 35-39 record. Jean Bongiorno from South Carolina was one of two runners who broke an age group record held by Joyce Hunter. Jean's 22:10 took 11 seconds off the 50-54 record. Joyce herself was the second runner and lowered her 55-59 record by 36 seconds to 24:14. - GEORGE REVELS - FIRST LAP 01. Doug Butler 08:10 01. Cindy Castilow 10:14 OVERALL MALES 01.
