B i l l K r o h n c a m e t o r u n . D i d h ecome to run. In
the most exciting raceseen around this part, the 23 year-oldYonkers
resident edged out highly regarded Odis Sanders by ten yards tow i
n D a n n o n ' s 7 m i l e c h a m p i o n s h i prun around
Titicus Reservoir, Purdys.
Sanders, running for Millrose A. A.,a n d v h e d e f e n d i n
g c h a m p i o n , c a m einto the race with some impressive cred
e n t i a l s . H i s c a r e e r, w h i c h t o o k o f fafter
last year's win, included excellentr u n s i n t h e N e w Yo r k ,
B o s t o n a n dMadrid marathons, and he had showedhis mettle in
winning Lincoln Hall andP e e k s k i l l . A s i x s e c o n d l o
s s t o B i l lRodgers in NYRR's George WashingtonBridge 10K was
instrumental in pushing him into national performance.
At Purdys, however, he ran into abuzz saw. Krohn, who has been
running well at shorter distances milet h r o u g h 5 , 0 0 0 m e t
e r s m a d e t h emost of th is opportuni ty.
Through the first mile, a tough uphill grind, the watch told a
tale ofthings to come: 4 minutes, 45 seconds.P a u l F r i e d m a
n ' s c o u r s e r e c o r d o f34:52 was definitely in jeopardy.
Theywent fo r i t w i th a vengeance . Therew a s t o b e n o h a n
d - h o l d i n g , b u d d y -buddy tie here.
Coming off the tough ascent, it became apparent that Sanders was
theb e t t e r o n t h e d o w n h i l l s , a n d K r o h
nstronger on the flats and uphills. Theybattled that way through
five miles. Atthat point Krohn apparent ly took intoa c c o u n t t
h e d o w n h i l l fi n i s h a n d m a d ehis move, pulling away
from the Free-port, L.I . runner. He opened up a 40yard lead and
waited for Sanders' finala s s a u l t .
I t came with 600 yards to go, butt h e d i s t a n c e w a s t

victory.
Friedman's record just didn't fall, itwas obl i terated. Krohn's
winning t imeof 33:47 shattered it by a minute-five,a n d w h e n o

Personality Profile: JEANIE ARNETTBy Owen McCrudden
You must have seen her if you goto the local races. She may not
be oneof the fastest women around, but sheis cer ta in ly one o f
the hardes t comp e t i t o r s o n t h e l o c a l s c e n e . T h
a t ' sJ e a n i e A r n e t t w h o r u n s s o s h e c a ncompete
rather than just to be fit.
J e a n i e w h o l i v e s i n S o m e r s w i t hher husband,
Steve, has run everyth ing f rom 5K to the marathon s inceit all
began back in 1977. It was theFr. Mooney classic held annually
onJuly 4th that was the beginning ofher road racing with no end in
sighte v e n w i t h t w o m a r a t h o n s t o h e rc r e d i t
.
S h e i s o u t t h e r e o n t h e r o a d s t r a i ning
throughout the year, whether it bet h e c o l d w i n t e r m o n t
h s o r t h e h o t h umid weather of July and August. ForJeanie
loves to run and when you lookat her accomplishments you will seew
h y. S h e w a s 2 n d i n t h e s u m m e rbiathlon in 1979; the
first woman overa l l i n the Westches te r Win te r Ser iesthis
year; and ran the N.Y.C. marathonin 1980 in a smart 3:47 time.
Maybeit's because her time keeps improvingor her husband Steve's
urging, butJeanie feels as long as she is able shewill continue
running.
Tennis and swimming are fun butonly as a supplement to her
running,Jeanie especially looks forward to the
c lub 's coup les races he ld th roughoutt he yea r and hopes t
he re w i l l be acategory for married couples in futurer a c e s a
t M o h a n s i c P a r k , H o w d o e s s h efi t m a r r i a g e
a n d h o l d i n g d o w n h e rcareer into her running schedule?
Noproblem she says, especially whenboth partners start out running
at thesame time. She feels one complementst h e o t h e r ,
"When one of us gets down at theheels, we help the other out,"
she says."Since we have the same interests, wecan relate and
respond to each othersneeds more readily than non-runningcoup les .
"
Jean's training schedule is a six dayweek running anywhere from
5-7 milesa day with a ten mile run on the weekend. This she fits in
after school (sheteaches science at St, John's parochials c h q o l
i n C a r m e l , N . Y. ) W h e n s h estarts marathon training
her mileagegoes up to about 60 miles a week witha long 18 miler on
the weekends. Herfi r s t m a r a t h o n i n 1 9 7 9 w a s a m o d
e s t4:05, but t ime wasn't a factor to her.It was more a matter of
just finishing.She bettered that time in last year'sN.Y.C. marathon
with a respectful3:47, As long as she can keep improving her time
then that's plenty ofsatisfaction along with that feeling ofaccompl
ishment that comes wi th running the marathon.
She feels that in running and finishing a marthon it's solid
proof that onecan accomplish anything in l i fe if sheis willing to
set her mind to the task.The dedication to purpose, the discip l i
n e , t h e s a c r i fi c e s t h a t m a r a t h o nt r a i n i n
g r e q u i r e s c a n b e t r a n s p o s e di n t o o t h e r a
r e a s o f l i f e . B u t s h e i squick to add, she doesn't
recommendrunning marathons to everyone. "Itis something one builds
up to," Jeanieexplained. "By starting with the shorterraces and
then gradual ly lengtheningthem, the body can adjust to thes t r e
s s e s a n d s t r a i n s t o e n d u r e t h e m a r at h o n d
i s t a n c e . "
W h a t d o e s s h e h a v e i n s t o r e f o r t h i syear?
Well, that's sort of up in the airsince she and Steve are expecting
theirfirst child the first week in December.(Steve, have you worked
out thes c h e d u l e f o r t h e fi r s t t w o o ' c l o c
kfeeding yet?) Her feelings about theclub is one where she met new
friends,young and old alike and would like tos e e m o r e p e o p
l e t a k e a d v a n t a g e o fthe club activities held
throughoutthe year.
Jeanie's future goal is to get hert ime down i n t he ma ra thon
and t he10K races. This she believes is a matterof time with a
balance of training andspeed, good luck and listening to theadvice
of her husband and coach. Withall that going for Jeanie how can
shem i s s !

Doyle Gets Off On Right Foot in TGISThe weatherman was very
cooperative in our "Thank God it's Spring" 10K at Mohansic Park,
Mike Doyle got his spring season off
to a fine start holding off a determined Scott Mosenthall by 16
seconds in 32:47, Russell Palmer took third beating out John
Hollandand Howie Bashant. Jane Denton, Pleasantville, ran 39:20 for
top honors among the women, Judy Pickert was runner-up.
Doyle, Mosenthall and Palmer, were split about ten yards apart
at the end of the first mile, Holland and Bashant followed. The
onlyaspect to change was the distance between the runners. Coming
out of the parking lot second time around, Doyle led by 50-60
yards.Palmer was out of contention, though thoroughly entrenched in
third.
Denton was never in trouble building up a three minute margin
over Judy, while finishing twenty-first overall.Running through the
first half-mile I heard some of the fiercest grunting and groaning
I've ever heard anywhere. Immediately I had
vision of Dr. George Sheehan. The sounds were accompanied by a
hard and fast pounding of feet. As he flew past he gave me a grin
anda "Hi." He was Joe Burns, 52, veteran Millrose runner. It was
hard to imagine that the short snappy stride could be sustained for
6.2miles. His finishing time of 36:35, ninth overall, attested to
the fact.
Cigar smoking, beer-drinking, Dom DiLauria, 54, had to be
impressed as he watched the Bogota, New Jersey resident sip on hisa
f t e r - r a c e m a r t i n i .
"Geez, Harry," he moaned goodnaturedly, "for once I get rid of
(Bob) Rogan and you bring in this guy. He's twice as bad."Susan
Solow (60:09) may have been frustrated at her failure to break the
one hour mark for the first time, but she was somewhat
compensated with her $3.00 gift certificate, which she later
exchanged for a $10.00 one in the random drawing after the race.
"Nexttime," she vowed.
