Open Men
There were almost 100 rankings earned in the men's open division during 2001; however, many of those top runners failed to get the required two rankings to be included in the year-end rankings. As a matter of fact, only twenty men earned at least two rankings, and only two of those men, Dan Courtney and Eric Estrada, managed to get three rankings.

We have awarded the top ranking this year to Montclair's Jason Van Horn, based on his top three finish in the summer rankings. Van Horn (photo at left) had several race victories during the summer ranking period, including the WaWa Hartwood 10 Miler and the Heritage 5 Miler. Van Horn's other ranking was a 14th place finish in the spring rankings.

The only man to earn two period rankings and hold the top slot at any point during the year is our runner-up for 2001. Steve Crowder of Fincastle, VA was the winter rankings champion, a berth he earned largely on the strength of an overall win at the Blacksburg Ten Miler, where he ran 53:33. In the winter, Crowder also placed third at the Potter Homes Turkey Trot. Crowder's other ranking was a 21st place finish in the spring, which included nearly forty ranked men in this division.

Youssef Ennaciri of Baltimore is our third place finisher this year, a result of his top five finish in the summer rankings, where he collected four overall race victories, including head- to-head triumphs over age group competitors like Dan Courtney and Eric Estrada.

Chesapeake's Mike Colaiacovo was consistent in the two periods in which he earned a ranking, and we have awarded him fourth place for 2001. In the winter, he finished third by beating age group rivals Michael Harrison and Michael Mann in the ranking period. Colaiacovo's other ranking was a sixth place finish behind VanHorn and Ennaciri.

Dan Courtney, who has three rankings to his credit, is the final man to earn a top five slot in the year-end rankings. Courtney's most impressive performance was a seventh place finish this past summer, just ahead of Eric Estrada. Courtney also finished seventh in the winter rankings and twelfth in the summer rankings.

Men 35 - 39
The men's submasters division was a small one this year; however, there is a lot of talent in the select group of men that qualify for our runner rankings. Leading the charge this year was Chris Chattin of Columbia, who spent half the year at the top of the rankings pile. Chattin took the title in the spring, when a record 26 men earned rankings, and stayed on top throughout the summer, a feat he accomplished by winning the Annapolis 10 Miler in 54:54. In the spring, Chattin finished 33rd at the Cherry Blossom Ten Miler in 52:10. Chattin also earned the third place ranking in the fall, where he turned in his best performance at the Baltimore Marathon, where he finished fifth in 2:29:14.

Winchester's Mark Stickley (photo above) is our runner-up this year, a slot he earned by beating out Chris Chattin in the fall rankings by crossing the line in 31:39 at the Georgetown Classic 10K. Stickley also held third place in the spring rankings based on the strength of his 2:39:12 performance at the Shamrock Marathon. For his third ranking, he placed sixth in the winter rankings.

Mark Hoon of Kensington also had two top three finishes this year, a strong enough showing to earn third place for the year. In the winter, Hoon grabbed the third slot by beating out Ted Poulos in head-to-head competition at the RRCA Club Challenge. In the summer, he got his top three finish with an overall race victory at Riley's Rumble Half Marathon in 1:17:25 and a 25:45 finish at the Rockville Rotary Twilight 8K.

The group's most prolific runner, McLean's Ted Poulos, is our fourth ranked runner this year, posting top five finishes in three of the four ranking periods, and a sixth place finish in the fourth. A few highlights from Poulos's year include a top-50 finish at the Cherry Blossom Ten Miler, fourth at the Annapolis Ten Miler, and a top five showing at the George Washington Parkway Classic 10K.

Finally, rounding out the top five in the group is Virginia Beach's Dai Roberts, who earned his best ranking in the winter, where he was the runner-up based on strong showings at the Tidewater Striders tune-up series. Roberts was also sixth in the spring rankings.

Men 40 - 44
Douglasville, Georgia's John Tuttle is one of the country's premier masters runners, and he frequently comes to the Washington area for important races. As such, he grabbed the top slot in our rankings in both the spring and fall seasons, the most competitive periods during 2001. We are, therefore, awarding him the number one ranking for the year. Tuttle ran an incredible 50:16 at the Cherry Blossom Ten Miler, and managed to turn in 10K equivalents under 31:00 in all four of his races last spring. In the fall, he was back on top as a result of a fourth place finish at the Georgetown Classic 10K in 31:28.

Second in the division for 2001 belongs to Lanham's Jim Hage, who was on top in the winter rankings, after finishing eighth at the POMOCO Half Marathon in 1:10:51 and an overall race victory at the Jingle Bell Run for Arthritis 10K. Hage, ranked in all four ranking periods, never fell out of the top four.

Baltimore's Dave Berardi made a strong effort at chasing down Tuttle and Hage this year, and performed well enough to collect third place for the year. Berardi finished three of the four ranking periods in third place, and was fourth in the other. As a result of this consistency, it would be unfair to rank Berardi any lower than third.

Joe Abernethy of College Park is our fourth ranked runner, a berth he earns by having a great fall season in which he finished the as runner-up to Tuttle in the rankings, edging out Dave Berardi by beating him by two seconds in head-to-head competition at the Outback Corridor Classic 8K. Abernethy also finished the summer ranking period in fourth, just behind Berardi, and was seventh in the spring rankings.

Finally, finishing off the top five in this very competitive masters division is Dai Roberts of Virginia Beach; he is the only man not yet included in the rankings to hold the top slot. He earned his top ranking in the summer by turning in a 1:10:51 at the Rock 'n' Roll Half Marathon, representing the fastest time of any man ranked during the period. Roberts's other ranking was a sixth place finish in the spring rankings

Men 45 - 49
(Photo: Jim Adams of Towson, MD is the 11th ranked runner in this division.)

Top honors in the 45-49 division belong to Jim Whitnah for his first place finish in the spring rankings, and his third-in- division result in the winter rankings. In the spring, he turned in a 55:45 at the Cherry Blossom Ten Miler and also finished in the top fifteen of the Pike's Peek 10K.

Second for 2001 belongs to Sterling's Chuck Moeser in recognition of his divisional win in the winter rankings, and his third place finish in the spring rankings. Moeser's 1:13:01 finish at the POMOCO Half Marathon was enough to secure his top ranking in the winter, and the 33:36 that he ran at the St. Patrick's Day 10K was good enough to grab third place in the spring rankings.

In the summer we had David Webster on top, and that, in conjunction with his second place finish in the winter rankings and fourth in the fall, is enough to earn the third place ranking for 2001. Dan Lawson of Gaithersburg had two top three rankings this year, and that is enough to earn the fourth slot for 2001. In the fall, he ran 34:07 at the Georgetown Classic 10K to secure the third rankings. In the spring, however, he crossed the line a mere 30 seconds behind Whitnah at the Cherry Blossom Ten Miler, to gain the runner-up slot in the very competitive and large spring rankings.

Finally, Develand Campbell, who is constantly doing battle with the top men in this bracket, is our fifth ranked runner for the year. Campbell had two top five finishes this year. In the winter, he was just a minute behind Webster at the Jingle Bell Race, crossing the line in 36:10 to earn the fourth slot in the rankings. In the spring, he and Webster did battle head to head several times, with each man winning once. In the spring, Webster had the fastest time between the two, so he was ranked fourth, and Campbell was fifth. Regardless, this performance is enough to keep Campbell in the top five in the year-end rankings.

Men 50 - 54
Williamsburg's Rick Platt is the victor for 2001 in this age division. The only man to hold the top ranking more than once during the year, Platt was on top in both the spring and summer rankings and was runner-up in the fall rankings. Platt earned his top ranking in the spring the hard way--with head- to-head competition, beating out his age group rival, Mick Slonaker, twice. In the summer, he earned the top slot with a 1:24:39 showing at the Rock 'n' Roll Half Marathon, coupled with a 35:37 at the Urbanna Waterfront 10K.

Paul Ryan of Arlington is our second ranked runner by virtue of top three rankings in three ranking periods. In the fall, Ryan had the five fastest times run by any man in this division, which was enough to earn the top ranking, ahead of Platt. In the summer rankings, Ryan was runner-up to Platt, a place he earned with very fast running, including a 16:03 finish at the Mitzvah 5K. In addition, Ryan was third in the spring and winter rankings.

Third place this year belongs to Mick Slonaker, who had his best ranking period in the spring, where he finished second, just behind Platt. Slonaker was fourth in the fall and spring rankings. David Lowe of Gaithersburg is just behind Slonaker, grabbing the fourth slot in the year-end rankings. Lowe's best ranking was second in the winter rankings. However, he was fourth in the spring and summer and fifth in the fall, just behind Slonaker.

Finally, fifth place belongs to Bill Hart, who had his best result in the winter rankings, where he managed to grab the top slot with a 1:18:50 at the POMOCO Half Marathon. Unfortunately, the only other ranking he had was a sixth place finish this fall; therefore, fifth place in the overall rankings was the best we could justify, after looking at the other performances turned in by men in this group.

Men 55 - 59
Alexandria's Patrick Griffith was the top ranked runner in three of the four ranking periods this year, and he is undisputedly the runner of the year for the 55-59 division. For most of the year, Griffith ran the fastest times of any ranked runner. For example, in twelve outings last spring, Griffith was always under a 40:00 10K equivalent time. In the spring, he owned six of the seven fastest times run by men over 55. It is, therefore, evident that, as the fastest runner in this age division, Griffith is well deserving of the top ranking for 2001.

Steve Frisk of Alexandria is the only other man in this group to occupy the top slot during 2001. Frisk accomplished this by earning the two fastest times run by men in this group last winter. His best race was an 18:18 showing at the Tidewater Striders Run for Independence 5K. Frisk's other ranking was fourth in the spring, a ranking period which included a 30:10 finish at the Shamrock Masters 8K.

Keswick's Dan Murray had his best ranking period this fall, where he had race victories over strong age group competitors such as Jim Noone and Emmons Welch. His best race this fall was a 1:02:47 at the BB&T Ten Miler. Murray's other ranking was a fifth place finish in the spring, during which he turned in a 1:04:56 at the Charlottesville Ten Miler. As a result, he has earned third place for 2001.

Fourth in the year-end rankings belongs to Ed LeCates of York, who had rankings in three of the four ranking periods. LeCates rose as high as third in the summer rankings, and also turned in a top five showing (fourth) in the fall rankings. A few highlights of LeCates's year include an 18:48 showing at the St. Agnes Labor Day 5K, as well as a 39:20 at the Georgetown Classic 10K and an 18:15 at the Baltimore Fila 5K.

Finally, the last berth in the top five amidst this group belongs to Jim Noone, who earns his slot with two top five rankings this year. Noone was fourth in the summer rankings, and fifth in the fall rankings--two honors he earned with prolific and consistent running.

Men 60 - 64
(Photo: Warren and Priscila Prunella are both ranked. Warren is 11th in the 60-64 division and Priscila is 7th in the 55-59 division.)

Columbia's John Elliott was the top man twice this year, and we awarded him the crown as top man in this division. In the spring, Elliott ran an incredible 37:42 at the Pike's Peek 10K, as well as a 1:04:08 at Cherry Blossom. In the summer, he had a 19:06 showing at the Meadfest 5K. In earning his two top rankings, he beat out our year-end runner-up, Mel Williams, twice, while finishing just behind Williams once.

Williams, to his credit, beat Elliott in the winter rankings by turning in five 10K equivalents under 40:00, a feat no one else could match last winter. His best race this summer was a 1:22:48 at the Tidewater Striders Tune Up 20K. In addition to his top ranking in the winter, Williams was runner-up in the other three ranking periods. Williams's year included a 3:11:13 triumph at the 2001 Marine Corps Marathon and a 2:56:53 at the Shamrock Marathon.

Bob Spearing of Arlington grabs the third slot for the year. He was fourth in the winter rankings; in the spring, he finished third, on the strength of a 40:39 at the St. Patrick's Day 10K and a 1:08:04 at the Cherry Blossom 10 Miler.

Running in close behind Spearing is Chan Robbins, who rose as high as number three in the rankings this year. In the fall, Robbins was running fine, with a 20:11 at the Goblin Gallop 5K and 20:13 at the Vanguard Run for Recovery. Robbins also had a strong summer, finishing fourth in the rankings after finishing the Rockville Rotary Twilight 8K in 33:34, to finish in the top thirty runners. Robbins also earned a fifth place finish in the winter rankings.

Skip Mullaney of Charlottesville is our fifth ranked runner this year, a title he earns with consistent running in the two periods in which he held a ranking. In the winter, he managed to grab the third slot ahead of age group competitors like Chan Robbins and Bob Spearing. In the summer, he finished fifth, just behind Robbins.

Men 65 - 69
The men's 65-69 division is a remarkably fast and large division, with significant head-to-head competition. Leading the pack for 2001 is Sparks' George Yannakakis, who earned the top ranking in two of the four ranking periods, and was never outside the top three. In the winter rankings, he had six qualifying times, and was unbeaten by anyone ranked below him. In the summer, when he got his other ranking, Yannakakis shot down tough competition from Richard Williams at the Annapolis Ten Miler, where he ran 1:15:53.

In the spring, Kitty Hawk's Tom Ray was on hand and managed to steal the top slot from Yannakakis with a 1:09:15 at the Cherry Blossom Ten Miler (well ahead of Williams and Yannakakis), and a 34:00 at the Shamrock Masters 8K. Ray's other ranking was a third place finish in the fall rankings.

Richard Williams of Alexandria, who had two runner-up finishes this year (spring and summer), is our third ranked runner for the year. In the spring, Williams beat Yannakakis at the Cherry Blossom by less than fifteen seconds. However, that was enough to secure the runner-up position in that period.

Larry Dickerson, who spent the first half of the year in this division, grabs the fourth slot for 2001. Dickerson's best result was a second-in-division finish in the winter rankings; however, he also earned third place in the summer rankings. Finally, rounding out the top five men in this category is Chris Catoe of Virginia Beach. Catoe, who earned rankings in all four periods, had his best ranking period in the in the fall, where he finished fourth out of twenty ranked men. In the fall, Catoe had five solid qualifying times, including a 36:22 at the Neptune Festival 8K.

Men 70 - 74
The men's 70-74 division is generally a select group, and this year only four men managed to earn the required two rankings during the year to appear in the best of 2001 rankings. Burke's Larry Dickerson, who aged up into this group mid-year, is our overall champion, as he earned the top slot in both the summer and the fall. This decision is backed up by the results of the fall's Georgetown Classic 10K, where Dickerson went head-to-head with year-end runner up Jack McMahon and defeated him, running in in 47:08.

Jack McMahon, frequently the most prolific runner in this group, is our runner-up for 2001. McMahon, who aged up early in the year, was the only man in this group to earn rankings in each of the four ranking periods. He held the top slot in the winter rankings, and then held on to second place for the rest of the year.

Falls Church's Don McCarten is our third place finisher this year, a ranking he gains based on his second place finish in the winter, and his third place finish in the spring rankings, which actually included six runners in this group.

Finally, George Waxter of Frederick rounds out the men's 70-74 division, earning his place with rankings in the summer and fall. Waxter's best race in these two periods was a 23:40 at the Baltimore Fila 5K.

Men 75 & Over
Seven men over the age of 75 turned in two rankings this year and have earned a slot in the year-end rankings. Bill Osburn of Bethesda, always one of the group's most prolific runners, is our top man for 2001. In all four ranking periods, he managed to remain in the top three runners, capturing the top slot in the winter. Throughout the year, Osburn consistently met and defeated age-group competitors and was on hand for many local races.

Second in this division for 2001 belongs to Oxon Hill's Ray Blue, who played runner-up twice this year, once in the spring and in the winter. In the spring, he actually managed to earn a ranking higher than Osburn, a feat he accomplished with a 27:07 5K at the DC Rape Crisis Center Challenge.

Walt Washburn earned rankings in all four ranking periods this year, and they were consistent enough that we have awarded him the third place rank for the year. Washburn's highest finish was third in the summer rankings, where he posted nine qualifying times, including a 1:32:30 at the WaWa Hartwood 10 Miler.

Virginia Beach's Cokey Daman, one of the few octogenarians in the group, has been awarded the fourth slot in this group. Always difficult to fit into the rankings due to the fact that he rarely runs against his age group competition due to geography, Daman had some strong performances this year. He ran 2:07:50 at the POMOCO Half Marathon last winter, and 2:18:16 at the Norfolk Half Marathon this fall.

Finally, the last slot in the men's over 75 top five belongs to Dixon Hemphill, who earned two rankings this year. Hemphill was fourth in the winter rankings and fifth in the spring rankings. His best race was a 56:18 at Pike's Peek 10K this spring.
