Whitney Winners

Story by Ken Cohen
KAUNEONGA LAKE — May 14, 2013 — Four-hundred eighty-two runners participated in the Allyson Whitney 5K race Saturday in and around Kauneonga Lake. The race is run in honor of Allyson Whitney, a Monticello native who died of small cell cervical cancer at age 25. It raises funds – more than $50,000 – for the Foundation in Allyson’s namesake to help patients and families affected by this rare cancer.
Martin Morales of Fleischmans dusted the field, crossing the finish line in 17:33, a full minute-and-a-half ahead of second-place finisher Calvin Waterton of Kiamesha Lake. Calvin’s nine-year-old son Evan remarkably ran the race in 22:11, good enough to finish 16th overall.
Erica Stoeckler of Pine Bush was the overall female winner with a time of 22:53.
