Sal's member Dick Withrow received the greatest honor the local running community has, by being named to the Greater Rochester Track Club Hall of Fame! The GRTC banquet, held on January 24, turned into an excellent night as Mike and Mike roasted and honored Dick for his achievements over the years with an awestruck crowd of 140 or so listening intently.
A short list of DW's accomplishments include; GRTC president 4 years during a time of growth of the club to 2,000 members, race director for the Lilac 10k, Human Race 10k, JCC 5k, East Ave. Mile, Freezeroos. Coach at Spencerport, Pittford and Brockport. Super fast runner, including 15+ minute 5k's as a 40 year old, 2:38 marathon, 1:12 half-marathon. Volunteer at hundreds of races through the years. Still competing in xc, triathlons and duathlons, inspiration to many of us.
By awestruck, do you mean asleep?
