Summer Kick-Off Fun Run 2002 Summary


A record number of 719 entrants registered for the Summer Kick-Off Fun Run at Clear Creek High School in League City Saturday, June 8, 2002.  Over 400 finished the 5K Run.  This family-oriented event attracted participants from age 1 to 80 in the 5K run, 3K walk, and kid’s K run.

Bryan Williams of Dayton, Texas returned to the Summer Kick-Off Fun Run and successfully defended his 5K first place victory of last year.  He led the field with a time of 16:13.  Bryan was followed by his twin brother, Ryan (16:46) and brother Daniel (17:43) who was eighth place over all.  Ryan and Daniel both took first place in their age groups.  The Williams brothers’ father, Herman, finished the 5K with a time of 24:41 that was good enough to place fifth in his age group. 

Elliott Young of Houston led the 5K women with a time of 19:56.  This was her first appearance at the Summer Kick-Off Fun Run.  She has only been running competitively for a year and a half.

The Summer Kick-Off Fun Run took on an international flavor with a family of runners from Wales.  The men’s master’s division (over 40) was won by Philip Kendrick who was on a family vacation from Llandringdod Wells, Wales, UK.  His time was a brisk 17:13 which placed him fourth overall.  He found the Summer Kick-Off Fun Run web site before leaving home and decided to make it part of his trip.  His daughter Emily came in second in her 15-19 5K age group.  Sophie joined her father in the winner’s circle with a first place finish in the Kid's K run edging out sister Polly who came in second. 

In keeping with the family atmosphere Deb Clifford of Galveston was the 5K women master’s winner with a time of 22:29 and her daughter, Erika, placed second in the 6 year old and under kid’s K age group.  Deb has participated in many sports in the past.  Now she concentrates on competing in many runs in the greater Houston area.  She was just 6 seconds off the master’s winning pace in last year’s Summer Kick-Off Run.

An enthusiastic group of children aged 12 and under competed in the kid’s K run.  The brother duo of Chris and Matthew Baca of Lake Charles finished first in their age groups in the Kid’s K run.  They were joined by age group winners Tiffany Tigges, Sophia Campos, and John Almendarez.

Great refreshments were served to the soothing sounds of Juan Manuel’s new CD special release for the Summer Kick-Off Fun Run.  Khambrel Marshall of Channel 2 News started each event and presented the trophies and medals to the winners at the post-race party held in the school courtyard.
