Pharr 5K Run/Walk

Our on-the-spot, action reporter, Vickie, sent in this report:
*

Neither clouds, rain or cold kept 12 Sandpipers' residents

from participating in this annual event. Out of the 12 entries from Sandpipers,

7 won trophies for their respective age groups.

Will not divulge age groups, you will have to ask them yourselves.

Duane picked up Bob W's trophy at the awards ceremony.

Bob W headed back to the park to soak in the hot tub and missed

the award ceremony and photo shoot, but that hot tub sounds sooooo good.

*

We met Officer Johnny in the parking lot

and he did a great job of taking our group photo. Dorothee thanked Officer Johnny on our behalf.

In their age groups:

Roy took 1st place.

Vicki took 2nd place (notice there was no 3rd place).

Nora took 2nd place.

Duane took 2nd place.

Dorothee took 1st place.

Marijanne took 2nd place.

Bob W took 2nd place.

*

The attendance was low due to the nasty weather (it wasn't SNOWING).

There were 91 participants that crossed the finish line.

How do I know that????

Bob was number 90 and I was number 91.

Yes, I was the last one to cross the finish line and still got a trophy.
