THIS WAS IT - ALL THE MARBLES IN THE SUMMER DECATHALON 2002 EDITION. THE EVENING WAS NOT AS HUMID NOR AS HOT AS IT HAD BEEN ALL SUMMER WHICH WOULD HAVE BEEN NICE IF WE COULD
HAVE BEEN ON A NICE TRACK. IT'S NOT THE GREATEST SURFACE BUT IT IS AVAILABLE - FCC. NO SURPRISES IN THE MEN'S CHAMPIONSHIP. FRANK KURTZ SEALED A STELLAR SEASON WITH A WIN IN
THE 1500 METERS. HIS ADJUSTED TIME OF 4:24 PUT HIM SIX SECONDS AHEAD OF MASTERS PHENOM RICHARD BUHRMAN. THERE WAS A LITTLE JOSTLING IN THE TOP TEN MEN BUT THE NAMES REMAINED
THE SAME. IN CONTRAST TO THE MEN'S RACE, THE WOMEN'S COMPETITION CAME DOWN TO THE FINAL RACE. DEFENDING CHAMPION, BEV BLACK, PUT OUT HER BEST EFFORT TO HOLD OFF THE CHARGE OF
KATHY MICHELSON IN THE FINAL EVENT BEV'S EFFORT PAID OFF AS SHE WON THE WOMENS RACE WITH AN AGE ADJUSTED TIME OF 5:25 TO KATHY'S TIME OF 5:39. THIS SEALED BEV'S LEAD AND
RESULTED IN HER WINNING THE DECATHALON ONCE AGAIN. THE EVER AMAZING LESLIE NUSE ENDED UP IN 6TH PLACE OVERALL AFTER MISSING THE FIRST 4 RACES OF THE SEASON.
HER PHENOMENAL AGE GRADED TIMES PUT HER UP IN THE TOP 4 NEARLY EVERY RACE. THE LIST BELOW SHOWS THE RESULTS OF THE FINAL STANDINGS WITH AWARD WINNERS DENOTED BY AN * NEXT TO
THEIR NAME. AWARDS WILL BE GIVEN OUT AT THE STEEPLECHASER BANQUET IN JANUARY.
