Wins, Classic Races and Old Mainstays Kick Off March for Volte

Outside of the 12th annual Legacy Capital The Woodlands Marathon and its affiliated events more than two weeks ago, Volte had athletes at other events that weekend.

The big news is that Volte had another first place finish at the Miles for Meals event in Conroe on Saturday, March 4.

Two years after Mayra Caamano won the women's 10K race there, Stephanie Reed picked up the ladies' 5K victory - while finishing eight overall - in a time of 22:45.

Her husband Christopher clipped 20 minutes by a second to finish third overall.

Volte is also pretty proud of Judith Albarran representing us well as an ambassador for the Bayou City Classic 10K, one of the two oldest 10K races in the state of Texas along with the Statesman Capital 10K in Austin.

While she grabbed first in her age group in a time of 46:40, she pulled a few friends along to participate in downtown Houston as opposed to The Woodlands.

Jose Murillo was first in his division in the companion 5K event in 25:59.

The master's division of the 10K was won by one of our athletes and a friend of Volte.

Ramon Rosales took the win with a mark of 35:19 while Houston's Erika Park was first for the ladies in 41:51.

Juan Murillo and Robert Cardnell stopped the clock, respectively, in 42:22 and 43:29, while Volte friend Josh Rivas ran the distance in 48:06.

The following day, Sunday, March 5, Volte friend Greg Broad traveled to Arkansas to finish the Little Rock Marathon in 5:27:53.

A little bit closer to Houston was Eunice Allen, who ran the Towne Lake 5K in McKinney, in 30:18.

Jerritt Park led the way with a 21:46 finish, while Tim Russell and Rob Myers finished together in 31:46 and Deb Myers and Llana Bingham did so together too in 36:49.

Volte friend Randall Ivins came across the line in 30:19 and Ken Johnson followed in 47:20.

The following week in the 60th running of the Spindle Tree park run 5K in Magnolia, Jerritt was ninth overall in 21:15, while his wife, Kristi, was the third overall female in 23:50.  

Ken was first in his age group in 48:22.
