2012

Thirty years seems like an awfully long time, and I doubt that anyone thirty years ago could have envisioned that this race would have grown into what it has become--not only a fixture on the Rockland racing scene, but an event that draws top-flight athletes from throughout the Hudson Valley, providing a high-level competitive experience without sacrificing its family feel.  This year's top 30 runners hailed from 13 different high schools--only five of which were in Rockland County--and provided the mix of youth and experience at the front that the race has become known for.  Yet, the race is still free, still on the same course.  Larry Beckerle and Pat Chambers still toe the starting line.  Janet Markiewicz still presents the race's highest award on the starting line, as she has for the past twenty years.  Never have I been more proud to be included among that illustrious group, still as the only one of Mr. Mark's former athletes to be so honored.

Monroe Woodbury swept the both races and the participation title as well, becoming only the third team to accomplish that feat.  The Lady Crusaders were especially impressive, their 55-point margin of victory good for fourth largest all-time; though with the low turnout on the women's side, this distinction loses a bit of its luster.  Caile Kohlbrenner won her second title in two tries, upsetting the great Julianne Littmann-Viscardo.  The men's race was competitive once again, though not quite as tight as recent years.  Monroe Woodbury's 72 points in securing their third title was the fourth highest winning score ever; the past four years having produced those four highest scores, highlighting the diverse draw of the race across several counties.  The days of dominant men's teams and scores in the 30s, 40s, and 50s may be over.

Jamieson wins first, Kohlbrenner repeats at Alumni Cross Country Run

Monroe-Woodbury sweeps team titles in 30^th annual Markiewicz race

 

By Jamie Kempton

 

Who knew back in 1983 that a cross country race launched at Bear Mountain for former high school runners would endure for three decades? Probably not many, but the Bill Markiewicz Rockland Alumni Cross Country Run indeed celebrated its 30^th renewal on Nov. 24. A cast of 235 runners braved extremely blustery 40-degree temperatures to re-enact a ritual as anticipated on their calendar as the Thanksgiving feast two days prior.

 

The Rockland Road Runners co-sponsored the popular event, which has a distinctive reunion-type feel with post-race celebrations at the Bear Mountain Inn, the Merry-Go-Round Carousel, and outdoors on the sprawling playfield between those two landmarks.

 

Carlos Jamieson, a 2005 North Rockland graduate, claimed his first Alumni Run victory by touring the hilly three-mile course in 15 minutes 59 seconds. Jamieson, who was runner-up in 2010, battled much of the race with David McCarey, a 2008 Middletown alumnus, and defending champion Nick Roosa, Tappan Zee class of 2003. Jamieson lost the lead to McCarey on the steep ski-slope hill midway through the race, then recaptured it in the last mile to post an 80-yard win over McCarey, who finished in 16:14. Roosa, who won the race in 2005 and 2011, ran 16:17, one second off his winning time last year.

 

Jamieson was the 2003 Rockland schoolboy champion, and later starred at American University. He was one of seven runners chosen to the Rockland County All-Decade Cross Country team for 2000-2009. Jamieson is pursuing a master’s degree in physical education at Columbia University.

 

Cailé Kohlbrenner, a 2011 Tappan Zee graduate, salted away her second consecutive women’s title with a wire-to-wire triumph in 19:12, one tick slower than her winning time last year. Seven-time champion Julianne Littmann-Viscardo, Monroe-Woodbury class of 1995, was runner-up in 19:32.

 

Kohlbrenner is a sophomore biology/pre-med major and runner at Providence College who hopes to become a pediatrician. Providence recently placed second at the NCAA Div. I cross country championships. Kohlbrenner’s father, Andy, Pearl River class of 1981, is a four-time Alumni runner-up and 2008 Rockland Track & Field Hall of Fame inductee. He jogged the race this year due to a longstanding knee injury.

 

Monroe-Woodbury made it a clean sweep of the team titles. After just missing the past two years, the Crusader men outdueled eight-time champ Clarkstown North, 72 to 86, to win their third team crown. The women’s team won for the sixth time in eight years and a record ninth overall, scoring 23 points for a convincing victory over runner-up Tappan Zee, which tallied 78. Monroe has held a monopoly on the team participation championship and this year was no exception. The Crusaders won for the 12^th time with 39 participants, far ahead of runner-up Pearl River’s 23.

 

Runners representing 67 high schools from 14 states – including California, Wisconsin, Minnesota, North Dakota and Oklahoma – took part in the race, and entrants’ ages ranged from 18 to 70.

 

The annual Bill Markiewicz Award was presented to Chuck Sommerlad, a 1985 Monroe-Woodbury graduate and St. Thomas Aquinas College alumnus. Sommerlad organizes the Monroe-Woodbury team at the Alumni Run each year and is chiefly responsible for the Crusaders’ team participation success.

 

Markiewicz was Clarkstown North’s successful cross country and assistant track coach for 11 years (1978-89) and perhaps Rockland cross country’s most enthusiastic supporter. When he died of cancer in 1991, the race was renamed in his memory and an annual award was established to recognize those who have made a significant contribution to the sport.

 

Janet Markiewicz, Bill’s widow, made the award presentation as always. Members of the Markiewicz extended family gathered for the event, including nine participants: Bill’s brothers Mike (Albertus Magnus class of 1970) and Peter (Clarkstown South class of 1975), sister Margaret (Rosary Academy class of 1976), son Dan (Goshen, 1996), and five other family members.

 

Six previous Markiewicz Award winners competed in the race – Albertus Magnus alums Pat Chambers, Larry Beckerle and Jamie Kempton, former Clarkstown North runner Jason Friedman, ex-Pearl River harrier Ray Sussmann, and Mike Collins, formerly of Mepham on Long Island. Five other previous recipients helped coordinate the race – meet founder Tom Doherty, co-organizer Ralph Coleman, officials Kevin Stewart and Lou Hall, and Clarkstown South coach Ray Kondracki.

 

In addition to Jamieson, other former Rockland County meet champions who participated included Mike Colangelo, Albertus Magnus class of 1975; Jim Dinan, Nanuet class of 1987; and Pete Modafferi, Clarkstown South class of 1995.

 

Chambers, the inaugural Alumni Run champion, and Beckerle, Albertus Magnus class of 1973, maintained their streak of never having missed an Alumni Run.

 

 

2011

Near-perfect weather helped a very strong turnout for the 2011 Alumni Run, and the quality performances were out in force. To me, the the 29th running was a continuation/confirmation of a number of trends that we've seen over the past several years:

1. The new course is slow--at least 30-45 seconds slow.
2. The men's individual racing is HOT, and new blood seems to come to the fore every year, which bodes well for the future.
3. The men's team race is completely up for grabs.
4. The Monroe Woodbury women are an unstoppable force of nature.

The Lady Crusaders took their fifth title in the past seven years, and their record eighth overall, in typically dominant fashion, placing four in the top 6 for a 28-point total (second-best all-time) and a 60-point margin of victory (also second-best all-time). What more can you say? At this point, the women in purple are as good as the mid-'80s Albertus teams were, and they don't seem to be slowing down any.

The mens' team race was the exact opposite. No mens' team placed more than two runners in the top 10, and for the third straight year, the winning score broke 80--the three highest winning scores in race history. We are clearly in an era without a dominant team, though the fact that Suffern's winning effort was led by five collegians (top scorer Evan Flach '08 is the oldest member of the team) could portend the beginnings of a juggernaut. The slow death of the Rams' former dynasty continues (emphasis on slow), but we were somehow able to hang on to third for our record 14th consecutive top-3 finish. Pretty soon we'll be shooting for the age group title.

The most important record set on the day? Monroe Woodbury overtook Pearl River for most all-time Alumni Run participants, 633-621. Congrats to the Crusaders! Albertus also passed Suffern for fourth on the all-time list, and Spring Valley crept up into a tie with Nyack for tenth.

Roosa, Kohlbrenner Pace Tappan Zee Sweep at Rockland Alumni Run
Suffern, Monroe-Woodbury annex team crowns in 29th Markiewicz race

Tappan Zee alumnus Nick Roosa returned to the winner’s circle and Cailé Kohlbrenner made it a clean sweep for the Flying Dutchmen at the 29th annual Bill Markiewicz Memorial Rockland Alumni Cross Country Run, held Nov. 26 at Bear Mountain.

Roosa, a 2003 graduate, covered the hilly 3-mile course in 16 minutes, 16.4 seconds for an 85-yard margin of victory over runner-up Louis Tafuto, Warwick class of 2006, who crossed the line in 16:33. Roosa pulled away from Tafuto and Brian Crowley, Albertus Magnus class of ’82, on the steep ski-jump incline midway through the race. Crowley, who won the race back in 1990, finished a strong third in 16:35.

“One year I’d like to focus just on this race and try to break 16 minutes,” said Roosa, a 2007 University of Rochester graduate who also captured the title in 2005. He recently clocked an excellent 2:30:30 for 50th place in the New York City Marathon, a scant three weeks before the Alumni Run.

Kohlbrenner, a 2011 Tappan Zee graduate and freshman at Providence College, stormed out to an early lead and never relinquished it en route to a clear-cut triumph in 19:12. “The race was a lot of fun; I didn’t take it too seriously,” said Kohlbrenner, a biology major who hopes to become a pediatrician. She played soccer for three years at Tappan Zee before switching to cross country her senior year. Her father, Andy, Pearl River class of 1981, is a four-time Alumni runner-up and 2008 Rockland Track & Field Hall of Fame inductee.

Suffern won a hotly contested men’s team competition over Monroe-Woodbury, 83 to 88, for the Mounties’ fifth such title. The Crusaders, however, had no trouble outdistancing the women’s field, extending their record victory total to eight. Individually they placed second, third, fourth and sixth and totaled just 28 points, far ahead of Clarkstown South’s second-place score of 88. Monroe-Woodbury also locked up its record 11th team participation crown with 54 entrants. Albertus Magnus was runner-up for the second consecutive year with 31 participants.

Racing in nearly ideal conditions – sunny, calm and 60 degrees – 267 runners made the familiar trek around Hessian Lake, up the ski-slope hill, past the Bear Mountain Inn, around the carousel and across the Parade Grounds playfield to the finish. Some 57 high schools were represented, spanning nine states and Washington, D.C., as well as international competitors from Romania and Canada. The total of 267 finishers equals the fourth-highest in meet history and the 73 female finishers also ranks fourth-best.

The annual Bill Markiewicz Award was presented to Ray Kondracki, the longtime track and cross country coach at Clarkstown South who administers the children’s races at the Alumni Run each year. Markiewicz was Clarkstown North’s successful cross country and assistant track coach for 11 years (1978-89) and perhaps Rockland cross country’s most enthusiastic supporter. When he died of cancer in 1991, the race was renamed in his memory and an annual award was established to recognize those who have made a significant contribution to the sport.

As always, Janet Markiewicz, Bill’s widow, made the award presentation. Almost 40 members of the Markiewicz extended family gathered for the event, including six participants: Bill’s brothers Mike and Peter, sister Margaret, sons Matt and Dan, and cousin Patrick. Six previous Markiewicz Award winners competed in the race – Albertus Magnus alums Pat Chambers, Larry Beckerle and Jamie Kempton, Suffern graduate Walt Johnston, former Clarkstown North runner Jason Friedman and ex-Pearl River harrier Ray Sussmann. Seven other previous recipients helped coordinate the race – meet founder Tom Doherty, co-organizer Ralph Coleman, official Fred Adler, Kevin Stewart, Lou Hall, Janie Howell and Kondracki.

In addition to Roosa and Crowley, other former Alumni Run champions who took part included John Trautmann, Monroe-Woodbury class of 1986, a three-time champ and course record-holder at 14:08; eight-time champion Julianne Littmann-Viscardo, Monroe-Woodbury class of 1995; four-time titleholder Rita Keahon, Nanuet class of 1983; two-time winner George Buckheit, Albertus Magnus class of 1975; Chambers, Albertus Magnus class of 1976, the inaugural champion; and Lauren Tuchband Cullen, Nanuet class of 1998.

Five former Rockland County meet champions also participated, including three-time winners Brendan Fennell, Pearl River class of 2003, and Lisette Hautau, Tappan Zee class of 1978; Mike Colangelo, Albertus Magnus class of 1975; Pete Modafferi, Clarkstown South class of 1995; and Erin Haugh Colleran, Nanuet class of 1997. Colangelo, Chambers, Hautau and Haugh Colleran are also members of the Rockland All-Century Cross Country Team, and Fennell was voted Runner of the Decade on the Rockland All-Decade Team for 2000-2009.

Chambers and Beckerle, Albertus Magnus class of 1973, maintained their streak of never having missed an Alumni Run. Other notable entrants included Will Cunnane, Clarkstown North class of 1992, a former major league baseball pitcher with the Padres, Brewers, Cubs and Braves; and George Rhein, Don Bosco class of 1973, a former U.S. national champion in the Olympic sport of luge.

2010

For the second straight year, a clear, chilly, windy day greeted runners at the start; and for the second straight year, a high-scoring, tight battle in the men's team race. With eight teams represented among the top 10, high scores were sure to follow. The 2009 race saw records for the highest winning score (81 points) and the smallest victory margin (1 point, at 81-82)...and both those results nearly repeated themselves, with Pearl River narrowly edging the repeat bid of Monroe Woodbury, 80-82. Through the first four runners Tappan Zee actually had a 43-44-54 edge on the top two, but the Pirates were able to catch the Dutchmen and hold off the Crusaders in a tight battle.

Monroe Woodbury had no such concerns on the women's side, taking five of the top nine spots en route to the most lopsided victory in Alumni Race history. This despite "only" an eighth-place showing from eight-time women's champ Julianne Littman-Viscardo, who ran the race solidly into her second trimester. Future aspirants to the women's title have a clear blueprint for defeating Julianne: ensure that she is pregnant in November. This will at least give you a fighting chance.

Outstanding runs from the less-experienced members of my household: Thing #1 put up a good fight in the 5-6 race, despite having just turned five one week prior; Thing #2 dominated the toddlers' race; and my better half ran her first Alumni Race, sporting the red and gray of Upper Dublin (PA) High. Go Cardinals!

Terry, Pollack Blaze Trail at Rockland Alumni Cross Country Run
Pearl River, Monroe-Woodbury claim team titles at 28th Markiewicz event



Matt Terry of Danbury, Conn., and former Tappan Zee standout Jacqueline Pollack were crowned men’s and women’s champions at the 28th annual Bill Markiewicz Memorial Rockland Alumni Cross Country Run, held Nov. 27 at Bear Mountain.

Terry, a junior at Providence College, fought off a stern challenge from ex-North Rockland star Carlos Jamieson to capture the individual championship in 15 minutes 45 seconds over the hilly 3-mile Bear Mountain layout. Jamieson, a 2005 North Rockland alumnus who won the Rockland County schoolboy title in 2003, finished a scant second behind in 15:46.

Terry was Providence’s fifth scorer in the recent NCAA Division I championships, helping the Friars to a 22nd-place team finish.

Pollack, a 2010 Tappan Zee graduate, scored a convincing wire-to-wire victory in 20:09. She was the 2009 Section 1 Class A champion as a Dutchie senior. Runner-up Suzanne LaBurt, Monroe-Woodbury class of 1981, finished 120 yards back in 20:38. LaBurt has placed second four times and finished in the top five every year since 2002.

In the men’s team competition, Pearl River edged Monroe-Woodbury, 80 to 82, for its third title overall and first since 1992. On the women’s side, Monroe-Woodbury placed five runners in the top nine to decisively beat runner-up Suffern, 32 to 106. The championship was the seventh for the Crusaders from Orange County, snapping a tie with Pearl River for most women’s team titles.

The race, co-sponsored by the Rockland Road Runners, drew 255 participants including 74 women, tied for the second-highest total in meet history. Overall, 59 schools from nine states were represented – including California, North Dakota, Minnesota and Michigan – as well as international entrants from France and Turkey.

The oldest finisher was Joe D’Innocenzo, 73, from the Tappan Zee class of 1955, who placed 215th in 31:31. D’Innocenzo was the No. 2 man on Rockland’s first state championship cross country team, the 1954 Tappan Zee squad, and also coached the Clarkstown/Clarkstown North track team for 20 years.

The race is named in honor of Bill Markiewicz, a 1967 Albertus Magnus graduate who spent 11 successful years (1978-89) as Clarkstown North’s head cross country and assistant track coach, and was one of Rockland cross country’s biggest boosters. When he died of cancer in March 1991, the race was renamed in his memory and an annual award was established to recognize those who have rendered distinguished service to the sport.

This year’s winner is Janie Howell of Suffern, who has tabulated and transmitted to the media computerized results for virtually every Rockland-affiliated meet for more than a decade.

Howell’s daughter Meghan, Suffern class of 1999, was one of 10 former Rockland County meet champions who participated in this year’s Alumni Run. She was a three-time County champ (1996-98). She was joined by fellow ex-Mountie Shelby Greany, class of 2009 and now a Providence sophomore, who was a five-time County champion (2004-08) and is fresh off her 12th-place showing at the recent NCAA championships, the highest finish ever by a Rocklander.

Others included a pair of three-time champions from Pearl River, Brendan Fennell, class of 2003 (2000-02) and Mike Hickey, class of 2009 (2006-08); two-time winner Erin Haugh Colleran, Nanuet class of 1997 (1994-95); two former Albertus Magnus standouts, Mike Colangelo, class of 1975 (1974), and Laurel Gilhooly Reilly, class of 1981 (1980); Mike Rogan, Clarkstown North class of 1986 (1985); Pete Modafferi, Clarkstown South class of 1995 (1994); and Jamieson.

Rockland All-Century Team (1900-1999) members who competed in the race included Colangelo, Haugh Colleran, Howell, Pat Chambers, Albertus Magnus class of 1976, Eileen Shiel Herman, Clarkstown South class of 1981, and Andy Kohlbrenner, Pearl River class of 1981. Rockland All-Decade Team (2000-2009) members who took part included Fennell and Greany, who were voted Runners of the Decade, Jamieson, Hickey and Miguel Reyes, North Rockland class of 2003.

Seven previous Alumni Run champions also competed: eight-time titleholder Julianne Littmann-Viscardo, Monroe-Woodbury class of 1995 (1998, 2001, 2003-07, 2009); Chambers, the inaugural winner in 1983; three-time champ John Trautmann, Monroe-Woodbury class of 1986 (1988, 1994-95), the course record-holder at 14:08; George Buckheit, Albertus Magnus class of 1975 (1985, 1987); Brian Crowley, Albertus Magnus class of 1982 (1990); Nick Roosa, Tappan Zee class of 2003 (2005); and Brian McKnight, Monroe-Woodbury class of 1997 (2000).

Two former Albertus Magnus harriers kept alive their streak of never having missed an Alumni Run: Chambers and Larry Beckerle, class of 1973, who coached the 1990 Nanuet girls’ team to the state Class C title.
