The results are in from the Davis Stampede, and two Bay Area runners won the half marathon.
Juan Gomez, 22, of Oakland, was the top male finisher at 1 hour 13 minutes 59 seconds, while Vacaville's (yeah, that's technically the Bay Area) Allison Kerr was the top female at 1:20.53.
The the 10K, teenage phenom Kurt Rucgg of Yountville was the winner at 33:25, beating 29-year-old R. Matrthew Wise of Davis at 33:46. Sacramento's Jennifer Kent won the women's race at 39:43.
In the 5K, Davis' Drew Wartenberg took first place at 15:50, while West Sacramento's Juliet Wahleithner (18:06) led the women.
Interesting note: Race director Dave Miramontes watched his wife and son turn in good performances. Wife Jennifer finished first in the 40-44 women's age division in the half marathon, while son Ian finished first in boys' 12-under in the 5K.
Embarrassing note: Yours truly found himself still in a porta-potty when the gun sounded -- first time in 20 years of racing that's happened to me -- but thank goodness for chip timing. I was still able to finish first in the 45-49 age group in the half marathon, if I can be so arrogant to mention it.
