A Nice Return

The overall winner of the BTC Summer Series is my long time friend, retired Bakersfield Police Detective Steve Humphreys, who recently moved back to town and has started running again. A decade ago, Steve was running 17 minute 5ks and sub three hour marathons.

Now that he is back in town, he hopes to get back into the age group action soon. The 50 plus here in Bakersfield is a quick bunch with Carl Hatley recently joining Bruce Deeter and Cregg Weinmann who are all still capabale of sub 20 5ks.

Steve overtook Chevelle Reese (Ridgeview Fr) in the points race in the final event of the series. Mike Christian moved up into third with a 7th place finish in the last race and bumped me into 4th.
