__/ ZANGLIN DOWNRIVER RUN CELEBRATES 20TH ANNIVERSARY
Eve Howell reminds us that this Friday marks the 20th Anniversary for the Zanglin Downriver Run: "Formerly known as the Downriver Treadmill Run, this run was started by a group called the Downriver Treadmill Team. Spearheaded by a local cardiologist, this group was comprised mostly of heart attack patients who formed a walking group. They put on this successful event for 10 years and then said, 'That's it. We're done.' If you were at the race that year you heard runners complain saying "How could they stop doing this? It's my favorite race." Well, one guy stood up and said, "I'll take it over." His name....Jim Zanglin. For the past 10 years Jim has been the race chairman for this event. If you knew Jim, I'm sure you would like him tremendously. He is a fun-loving, honest man, who is dedicated to fitness and his community. This was a perfect fit. This Friday, June 14 the streets of Trenton will fill again for this 'Trenton Tradition'."

The 1 mile fun run starts at 7:00 pm; the 8K race starts at 7:30 pm, and the not-to-be-missed street party follows the races. The 8K is the Michigan Runner Race Series 8K Championship race. http://www.zanglinrun.com

__/ FEDEROV WANTS TO RUN A MARATHON
After Saturday night/Sunday morning's triple-overtime Stanley Cup finals game, Detroit Red Wing Sergei Fedorov, said one of the things he wants to do after his hockey career is run a marathon. "Ithink now I've already done that," he said.

__/ CARTER SHERLINE--DEDICATED MARATHONER ANDN MULTASKER
Michigan Runner photographer Carter Sherline runs marathons--lots of them. At last count he'd run more than 330. While Carter was in the midst of logging another one at the Sunburst marathon in South Bend, Indiana on Saturday, he made some phone calls. One of them was to me; we discussed photos to be published in the July/August 2002 Michigan Runner. Carter sounded only a little breathless.

__/ ROSE RUN ON MICHIGAN RUNNER TV
This week the Michigan Runner takes you to the 32nd Annual Rose Run in Jackson. 10K winner Ann Stewart, 10K masters champion Dave Furey and race director Mike McGlynn describe the race. Laurie Decker was the women's masters champion, and David Kimeli of South Bend, Indiana was the overall male winner, allowing 2nd place Aaron Usher of Gregory to earn the Michigan race series points. http://michiganrunner.tv.

__/ MICHIGAN HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION STATE FINALS--UP
Our report last week on the MHSAA State Finals was for Michigan's Lower Peninsula. This week we bring you excerpts from John Carlson's report on Upper Peninsula action on June 1. "The U.P. Finals were held in Kingsford, MI today under beautiful conditions, sunny, warm mid 70s, a little breeze from the NNW. Kingsford had tons of volunteers and the meet flowed very smoothly. The biggest effort of the day in my opinion may have been turned in by Pickford senior Ashley Bishop. She threw the shot put 42' 00.5" for her third title in a row; she also won the discus for the third year in a row.

Amber Smith [10th grade] from Ishpeming Westwood also had a huge day. She blasted around the track in the 3200 relay in 2:15 but her effort to overtake hancook fell just short, Hancock 10:10.1 and Westwood 10:11.3. Then in the 1600 run she ran 5:04.1, running the last lap in 80.1. Several spectators thought the 800 could be a "tougher race" for her as she seemed drained in the last 100 meters of the 1600, but she dominated the 800. Smith ran 2:20.2 to hold off Krista Clement [10th grade] of St. Ignace who ran 2:22.7. Amber finished off her day by cruising the 3200 in 11:49.9. Smith's Westwood Patriots took the team title.

__/ TIM BROE WINS HOMETOWN RACE
Tim Broe came close to winning his hometown race last year--The Steamboat Classic 4 Mile in Peoria, Illinois, but his 17:46 was good for second place. Last Saturday, though, Tim got the victory he wanted. The 17:46 put him more than 4 seconds ahead of second place Evans Rutto of Kenya. Michigan native Todd Williams, now of Knoxville, Tennessee, placed 5th and Jeff Campbell of Rochester, Michigan finished 9th.
