Yes, it certainly was a slow news day. ;-)
With the cross-country season officially in the rear-view mirror and the track and field campaign still a couple of months away, leave
it to Spencer Christy and crew to keep things interesting during the offseason by hosting the Second Annual Egg Nog Mile, sponsored by
Pepto Abysmal. Fifty-five crazy souls turned out to complete the event, which even boasts an official t-shirt that will surely become a
collector's item down the road -- especially those with genuine egg nog stains!
With competitors forced to guzzle down a cupful of egg nog after each lap of the speed/chug challenge, more than a few runners
found themselves 'losing control' along the way. There were many egg-cellent strategies employed, but perhaps none better than that
utilized by Folsom HS alum and current UCLA harrier Jake Matthews, who chose not to return to defend his title! Obviously, he still
had clear memories from last year's experience!
Once the esophaguses emptied and the colons cleared, it was Cal Poly San Luis Obispo's Ryan Cosens who burped and blazed
to victory, taking down Jake's ENM record with a nifty 5:29 performance that left him 26 seconds ahead of first-year participant Mitchell
Milligan, who becomes a local legend and Rookie Of The Year honoree! For the females, Katie Bolce showed the guys a thing or two
about how to gut out a challenge, breaking the female event record with her 7:24 performance, 31 seconds ahead of the next craziest
chick!
The turnout was grand, the weather was great, the t-shirts were a cool, new touch and the times were fast!
The only bad part? Well, we need to wait another 52 weeks before Egg Nog III occurs. Yes, of course, that's a tough proposition
for anyone to stomach.
