Congratulations to Rebecca Pattillo, who on 25Oct06, successfully completed her first 9 month ultra commonly referred to as pregnancy. Coached on by Jason, Rebecca must have done pretty well as she left the awards ceremony with a 7lb 10oz, 21" trophy they've named "James". Days earlier, Ale Kennedy finished her 2nd? of such ultra's taking home a prize weighing 6lb 14.5 oz, and 20" long. The Kennedy's have named this latest addition "Jackson".
Congratulations to the "Lady Jags" of Augusta State who took third place honors in the Peach Belt Conference Cross Country Championship meet (21Oct06)
Lady Jag head coach (and Augusta Strider) Adam Ward was named Women's Coach of the Year.
Ken Dixon, Mike Grady, Gary Moore, and Norris Beale ran the infamous Grandfather Mountain Marathon on 8July06. All did really well.
(editors note: this year was extra special in that due to a last minute course change driven by road repairs on the Blue Ridge Parkway, the course was more like 26.8 miles. That was nice)
OOORAH to Jennifer Bowen who ran her first marathon at Nashville's Country Music
Marathon on 29Apr06. Awesome Job Jenny.

excited and want to tell everybody but are reluctant because it would be bragging?
