► PA Dave Shrock receives USATF’s Highest Accolade!
The Robert Giegangack Award
The Robert Giegengack Award was established in 1982 in recognition of the late Yale track & field coach’s half-century of “superior and outstanding contributions as an official, a coach, and an administrator in the sport and to the organization.” It is awarded annually to a person “who excels in contributing to the excellence and high standards of the sport of Athletics.” The Award is USA Track & Field’s only accolade not limited to one of the sport’s three disciplines (track & field, long distance running, and race walking), or to any one of the three principal areas of consideration (official, coach, or administrator).
From Dave:
It’s especially humbling to see the list of women and men who have preceded me whom we’ve all looked up to and have been lucky enough to have been mentored by. Previous recipients from Pacific have been George Kleeman, Dr. Harmon Brown, Horace Crow, and Stan Wright.
This award is for all of you as well, as we have all worked together through the years to create an association that is considered of the highest standard in USATF.

► RR Three PA Masters runners set pending American Records at Clarksburg
PA Masters Jenny Hitchings, Jacob Nur and JoAnn Hall all bested the existing age-group American Records for the Half Marathon Sunday at the Clarksburg Country Run.
Hitchings (58) broke her own F55 AR of 1:21:14 set in 2018 with a 1:20:24 effort that age grades at an incredible 100.27%
Nur (66) went under Brian Pilcher’s 1:19:03 AR, set just two weeks in Houston, with a 1:18:29 performance for a very impressive age grade of 96.28%. Note: During Pilcher’s race in Houston, in which he set 7 different M65 ARs,
he broke Jacob’s pending 10 Mile AR of 1:01:00, set at the Buffalo Stampede on 9/12, with a 59:42. This will be an interesting rivalry to watch over the next couple of years.
Hall (80) bested Ginette Bedard’s 2:17:34 F80 AR with a 2:16:17 that age grades to 83.82%
Three age-group American Records in one race is yet again a demonstration of the of the depth of running talent in the Pacific Association.
