17th Annual Memorial Mile

May 28, 2007

Boardman , Ohio

By Phil Pillin

 

A very warm, sunny  72* morning greeted 228 runners  for the 17th annual Memorial Mile held here in Boardman.  The citizens and kid's race started off first at  9:35 .  As soon as the lead Boardman Police car and lead truck from Sweeney Auto Group came back up to the start line at Rt. 224 and Market Street , the elite heat was called to the line.   Two new faces won this year in the overall categories.  Sean Finnerty was the men’s winner and University of Akron runner Colleen Moran showed her leg speed as she took the women’s title.   After the races, the participants watched the Boardman Kiwanis Memorial Day parade while the race results were being tabulated.  Pizza was donated by East of Chicago Pizza and apples and bananas were donated by Nemenz  I.G.A. grocery store.  Music was provided by Dream Weavers.
