► PA USATF Pacific Mourns the loss of Elite Distance Runner, Aggie and Cal Poly SLO Coach Mark Conover
Mark Conover: 1960-2022. This USATF Pacific elite distance runner and life-long Aggies member placed 2nd at the stormy 1987 California International Marathon, and went on to win the 1988 Olympic Marathon Trials to become a Team USA Olympian at the Seoul Olympics, and to achieve NCAA D2 Champion status. He later became a beloved and hugely successful distance coach at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. His unwavering passion for running, his family and his coaching fueled his battle with a lifelong series of cancers, and he became a nationally acclaimed inspiration for those facing similar challenges.
A complete bio can be found in the Runner’s World article.

► RR PA Runners shine at 10 Mile Masters Championships
Sunday’s SACTOWN Run was the host for the 2022 USATF Masters 10 Mile championships (the first Masters road championships in the PA since 2007) and PA Masters runners took advantage of the opportunity by turning out in numbers, running very fast times, and bringing home lots of bling.
The PA stars who shone the brightest were Jenny Hitchings and Jacob Nur both representing Sacramento’s SRA Elite.
Hitchings took down her existing 10 Mile F55-59 AR (1:01:15) with a smoking 1:00:38 (chip time) for an age grade of 100.88%, the highest female age grade in the history of the PA Road GP!
Nur, who has been on fire the last six months, went under the PA’s Brian Pilcher’s ratified 10 Mile M65-69 AR of 59:42 and his own pending M65-69 AR of 59:11 (NorCal 10) with an amazing 58:34 (chip) for an age grade of 97.25%. The highest male age grade ever in a PA Road GP event!
Hitchings and Nur weren’t the only PA Masters to shine Sunday. HOKA Aggies’ Sergio Reyes was 2nd overall with a 50:36 and West Valley TC’s Peter Gilmore took 4th place overall in 52:47
In team scoring, West Valley Track Club won two golds and SRA Elite and Lake Merritt Joggers and Striders each won one.
