The sixth Magnificent Mendenhall Mudpuddle Meet, sponsored by Juneau Parks and Recreation, the University of Alaska Juneau and Special Olympics. The Empire headlined it "Race draws 102 runners"; 98 are listed as finishing. Art Rodriguez was quickest overall in 53:38.
THE RACE MOVED TO A SATURDAY this year, having been run on a Sunday since 1977. All three accounts say so, including the caption to the photograph of the start.
DATE: none of the four Empire items prints one, only "Saturday". The meet had been held on the first or second weekend of May every year - 1 May 1977, 30 April 1978, 6 May 1979, 4 May 1980, 10 May 1981 - and 8 May 1982 is the second Saturday. That is an inference from the pattern and not something the paper states.
Times are printed as minutes and seconds, with the minutes running past sixty, and are converted here. Joe Malinovsky's is damaged in the printing and noted on his row.
John Ebona, who the Empire notes is handicapped, finished six miles of the ten-mile course.
Welles Gabier is filed under Women over 40 in the paper. He is the man who ran the 1979, 1980 and 1981 meets in the mens brackets, and his result is held on his own record. | DefaultRaceDirector Unassigned | 1982-05-08 09:00:00 | no | no | yes | Registration Form |
