X-Treme Running Camp

The final day of X-Treme Running Camp 2004 started with the 5th Annual X-Treme 5K. Andrew Catalano, who will be a senior at Roselle Catholic High School, was the champion running 16:40 and setting a new camp record for the course. In the girl's race, Katie Mahoney, of Madison, was the champion running 21:35. Following the race, top Masters distance runner and author, Mark Will-Weber, gave a great presentation about race strategy. The kids then did a huge Run Around Drill with additional tests thrown in then went into the annual X-Treme Bucket Races. Camp ended with a presentation by "shoe guy" Gary Rosenberg of the Morristown Running Company and the official closing ceremonies at which each camper received an anthology and the top three male and female finishers in the X-Treme 5K received their awards. Special thanks to Al and Annmarie Siuta for all of their help with this year’s camp as well as the Roselle Catholic coaches and chaperones.
