Fast times at 31st Fitch Mountain foot race

Perfect running conditions greeted some 350 hale and hearty
runners at the 31st annual Fitch Mountain footrace on Sunday in
Healdsburg. The race, the second oldest continuously run event in
the county, was put on by the Healdsburg Kiwanis with a big assist
from the Empire Runners Club.
As in past years, the event consisted of a 3K and 10K race,
starting and finishing at the Plaza.
Former HHS track star Tim Quiroga claimed local bragging rights
with an easy win in the men¹s 10K, blistering the hilly course in a
fast 35:13. Megan Johnson was the women¹s 10K winner, cruising to
victory in a speedy 41:50. HHS sophomore Sarah Sumpter took second
in 43:36.
Youth won out in the 3K race, as 17-year-old Blake McDowell and
15-year-old Celeste Berg struck gold in for the men and women
respectively. Below are the top three finishers in each age group.
All winners are listed by overall place, name, age, time, age group
