Smith, Hanscom Claim Titles
New blood--call them the young bloods--added spice and talent to the D.C. running scene at the 12th Lawyers Have Heart 10K at Washington Harbour.

Mike Smith, a senior track athlete at Georgetown, made a quick foray onto the roads of his neighborhood to beat Ben Cooke and area roadracing stalwart Chris Banks. Smith won in 30 minutes 26 seconds; Cooke, who races in the area infrequently, was ten seconds back and Banks, runner-up last year, was third this time in 30:50.

Heather Hanscom, 24, from Alexandria, continued her impressive and largely uncontested run through area competition, winning the women's race in 35:37. Patty Fulton was second in 36:51, five seconds ahead of Kristin Pierce Barry, who finished third.

Smith, Cooke, and Banks ran in a threesome past the 5K mark on the mostly flat course--pancake flat compared to the old Lawyers course that went up and down the hills of Georgetown. The new course followed an out-and-back route along minor grades through the business district.

Four miles in, Smith made his move.

"I just put the hammer down," he said. "I knew Ben and Chris are good, but I felt strong."

Smith, who has one year of track and cross-country eligibility left at Georgetown, ran with Cooke for one year when the two attended James Madison University. To maintain his eligibility, he was forced to forfeit the first prize award of two airline tickets.

As has been her pattern lately, JMU grad Hanscom simply ran away from the field. And kept the plane tickets.

"I didn't take the lead until the second mile," she said. "But then I think I was alone."

And by quite a bit, once she passed fast-starter Barry, who was also passed by Fulton in the final mile.

"I didn't want to be out-kicked by Kristin," Fulton said. "So I had to push hard at five and then hang on."

Laura Freix, 41, ran 40:15 to beat a strong masters field. Chuck Moeser, 50, was the first grand master in 34:41; Moeser's son, Lee, 15, was second in his age group at 39:47; Rose Moeser, 19, also ran.

Jay Wind, 52, ran 40:27, good for third in his age group. On June 1, riding to the Race for the Cure, Wind fell off his bike and cracked seven ribs. He ran Lawyers with his arm in a makeshift sling.

Nearly 3,000 runners registered, including more than 500 walkers; 1,850 runners completed the race. The 5K, run concurrently the last several years, was eliminated this year in an effort to take the race back to its roots.
