The weather was partly cloudy with temps in the 40s. Olympic runner Justin Chaston was the first to cross the finish line in 10:01, but the most improved runner was H.J. Arnold, who finished 1:55 under his handicap. Way to go, H.J! We will all be back again next month. The May Nielson 2 Mile Challenge is the first event of the new PPRR Summer Series. Thanks again to all of you. Volunteers Al Grimme Phil Foster Julie Foster Pat Lockhart Bob Royse Dave Sorenson
