23rd Annual Sedalia Half Marathon – March 26, 2005

Lance Winders, a teacher on spring break from Mansfield, TN, ran to victory in the 23rd addition of the SHM. Lance had company for only a short while and after a slow (for him) 5:43 opening mile, Lance threw down a series of sub 5:30 miles which put him ahead for good after the 3 mile mark. Second place finisher, Kent Lang, Sedalia, lurked off the pace and was within striking distance with 4 miles to go, but Lance was strong down the stretch and actually pulled away, winning comfortably by 30 seconds in 1:13:44.

The women’s race was no contest at the front. Suzie Scheer, Leawood, KS, led from start to finish and placed a well-deserved 6th overall in 1:28:10. Second place was Heidi Bryant, Kansas City, in 1:33:58.

In age group competition, 78 year-old, Bob Mahoney, Springfield, ran a state record time of 1:57:26 breaking his own old 75-79 record by nearly 3 minutes.

Weather Conditions – 42 degrees, some drizzle, Winds NE 5 to 10mph.
