Local Athletes Score in Run

Notwithstanding some very precarious weather forecasts for the weekend of August 29th and 30th, Hurricane Danny turned out not to have the impact that everyone feared, and more than 1500 athletes, ranging in age from 8 to 80, participated in the 22nd annual Runner’s Edge-Town of Oyster Bay Triathlon, Tri-Relay and Junior Triathlon, and there were no end of smiling faces at the finish line.

The top finisher in Sunday’s “main event” was 20-year-old Tom Eickelberg of Leonia, New Jersey, who stormed out of the swim leg tied for first with Michael DiDonato of Massapequa, and drew away in the bike and run legs to cross the finish line at Theodore Roosevelt Memorial Park in 1:00:34, fifteen seconds in front of a hard charging Michael Kokoszka, who ran the fastest run leg in 17:12.
