run as fast as miSsiles
By EMILY HANSON
Runners in Shelton found a way to keep
the cold at bay while waiting for the an-
nual Christmas parade to begin on Satur-
day, Dec. 3.
Members of the Shelton Harriers as
well as others from in and around Shelton
took part in the first MissileToe Mile.
"This was our first MissileToe Mile and
we intend to build it into something spe-
cial," John Johnson, event organizer, said.
"There were some decent mile times run."
Johnson said there was a great turnout
for the mile, especially in the 14 and un-
der division.
"Our club is very interested in getting
young people involved in distance run-
ning, so it was nice to see all the kids
out," he said. "Overall, it is a perfect set-
ting for the race: right before the parade
at dusk. The event has great potential as
an athletic contest and a community get-
together."
Kenna Valentich finished fastest for
the women's race with a time of 5:54.65,
she was also the fastest finisher in the 15
to 39-age division.
For the men's race and the 15 to 39-age
division, Andrew Prentice was the first to
cross the line with a time of 4:32.96.
"We appreciate the Kristmastown Ki-
wanis, and in particular Mark Ziegler, for
supporting the idea," Johnson said.
