Cross Country Recap
Women’s Recap
By Jessica Wilson
Fresh from a stellar track season for many of the
Cornell women and with the introduction of a strong
freshman class, the Cornell women’s cross country
team looked forward to the 2011 season with
enthusiasm, determined to start the competitive year
off with a bang. Though a competitive field, newly
appointed women’s XC coach Artie Smith and
assistant coach Lou Dusing, remained confident of the
ability of the Big Red women to take on the
competition. Returners and newcomers alike tackled
the season and gave the Cornell team the excitement
expected from a competitive season.
The cross country season begun with a sweep of
of Army and Binghamton, as the Cornell women took
to the Moakley Course at Cornell, which because of
flooding, did not include the gorge. Juniors Katie
Kellner and Genna Hartung led the Red to a perfect
score of 15 points, with the duo taking first and second
respectively. Taking third was sophomore Emmy
Shearer, whereas senior Janel Parker placed fifth with
her best start to her cross country yet. Continuing on

the with great opening performances were sophomore
Devin McMahon who took sixth, and in a fantastic
college debut, freshman Marianne Collard placed
seventh. With thirteen Cornell women placing in the top
20, the Big Red women displayed their talents early on
in the season.
In the second meet of the season, the Cornell
women challenged a competitive field at the Harry
Lang Cross Country course at Colgate, placing second
to nationally ranked Syracuse and toppling the Raiders
in the process. In an outstanding performance, junior
Kellner ran 38 seconds quicker than her 2010 time on
the 6k course, placing third and securing a fourth alltime on the course. Following closely behind was
classmate Hartung with a fifth-best time ever and
placing fourth, an improvement of over a minute from
her performance last year. Continuing her breakout
season Shearer (8th) also ran a remarkable
improvement while Collard (10th) and Parker (15th)
also ran strong races. All around the Cornell women
performed well against the competition. Finishing in the
top 30 were McMohan (15th), junior Kate Rosettie
WASTEBASKET Winter Issue
(17th), sophomore Rachel Sorna (24th) freshman
Sydney Williams (25th), freshman Corey Dowe (26th),
junior Neesha Schnepf (28th), senior Christine Smith
(29th), and senior captain Meghan Brown (30th).
The CU women next took on a competitive field at
Lehigh’s Paul Short Invitational in Bethlehem, PA, placing
seventh overall against nationally ranked opponents. The
women proved they were up to the challenging weather
and competition, racking in an solid 209 points. With the
Big Red running against the top ranked women in the
East and in the country, Kellner (20:57) once again led
the Big Red finishing thirteenth overall. Kellner’s race
was an impressive course and career personal best,
while also assuring her the second best time in Cornell’s
history at the Lehigh course. Recovering successfully
from a difficult start to the 6k race, Hartung (21:10)
placed closely behind in 28th. With an impressive 30second personal record, Shearer (21:18) placed 38th.
The three produced times that placed them in the alltime top ten in Cornell history. Overall the Red produced
outstanding performances including: Collard (21:36);
McMahon (21:51); sophomore Dale Kinney (21:55); and
Parker (22:12).
The CU women’s cross country team split to take on
difference competitions on the weekend of October 15
and 16. Several members of the team took on
competition at the Yellowjacket Invitational, where the
women placed first, toppling the competition. Freshman
Jade Williams (18:40) placed second overall. Sorna
(18:45) took third, while junior Cara Cosich (19:00)
placed seventh. Brown (19:01) finished closely behind

taking eighth and to round of the field, freshman Katie
Johnson (19:07) scored Cornell’s final points for eleventh
place. Another portion of the team traveled to the PreNational Invitational to compete against some of the best
teams in the nation. In an impressive finish, the Big Red
placed fifth, only one point behind No. 4 nationallyranked Colorado. Despite intense competition and an
unfamiliar course, the Big Red women handled the 6k
course well. Placing an incredible 15th in this national
field was Kellner (21:06). In another breakout
performance, Shearer (21:27) who placed 24th, and
following closely behind was Hartung (21:32) placing
28th. With two other top 50 finishes, by freshman Collard
(21:51) and sophomore McMahon (21:53). As a whole,
the team performed extraordinarily well, amply preparing
them for the approaching Heptagonal Championships.
In what promised to be an exciting competition, the
2011 XC Heps was an exciting and intense competition.
The women arrived to the snowy course in Princeton,
N.J. ready to compete and challenge for the HEPs title.
Instead of the traditional 5k Heps race, the women
competed on a 6k course with the Big Red’s top five
scores placing in the top 17, edging the Columbia Lions.
With an early lead was Kellner, followed closely by
classmate Hartung. The two ran the majority of the race
together, followed closely by sophomores McMahon and
Shearer. It was in the last 2,000 meters that the Big Red
won their championship. Kellner and Hartung closed out
their gritty performance by finishing fourth (22:13.5 for
Kellner) and fifth (22:14.5 for Hartung, her second career
All-Ivy award).
Juniors Katie Kellner and Genna Hartung led the CU
women through difficult conditions at HEPs
WASTEBASKET Winter Issue
Finishing closely behind was Shearer who
continued her outstanding year and placing 11th, while
McMahon was close behind with a 12th place finish.
After these four runners came through the finish line,
Cornell was just one point ahead of Columbia (33-32).
In an exciting finish to the 2011 Heptagonal
Championships, senior Janel Parker clinched the win
with an outstanding sprint in the last 1000 meters of
the race to place 17th. In 25th at 4K, Parker was in
21st by 5K and not only moved up four more spots but
made up 7 seconds on Columbia's fifth runner in the
final 1,000 meters. In passing Columbia's fifth in the
final straightaway, Parker prevented a Cornell/
Columbia tie and ensured an outright victory for the Big
Red. On a mission to make a difference, Parker's last
half of the race, like her teammates, was tremendous
and the Big Red had a season best spread of only 29
seconds between its scoring runners. Placing closely
behind Parker were sophomores Sorna (25th) and
Kinney (28th). In an exciting race, the Big Red women
claimed the XC Heps title for the first time in 13 years.
Kellner and Hartung were named All-Ivy First-Team
members for their outstanding performances, while
Shearer and McMahon earned Second-Team honors.

Coming off of their strong win at the 2011 HEPs
championships, the women took their talents to the
NCAA Northeast Regionals. With high winds that
created difficult racing conditions, the CU women
proved they were up for the challenge, placing 3rd just
after No. 8 Syracuse. In fifth place as a team at 3K,
more than 20 points out of third, the Big Red continued
to demonstrate its toughness, racing brilliantly over the
final 3,000 meters to finish within 21 points of the
overall win and only 10 points from an automatic (toptwo finish) bid to the NCAAs. The Big Red was led, as
they have been all season, by the junior tandem of
Katie Kellner and Genna Hartung, who both earned AllRegion honors, given to the top 25 finishers in the race.
Teammates McMahon, Shearer and Parker also had
fantastic races to end their successful seasons.
The entire women’s cross country team came
together to prove that hard work, determination and
resilience pay off in the end. The women were not
afraid to take risks and felt that there was no other
option but to win. The entire women’s team will use
them as an example moving forward with the indoor
and outdoor track and field seasons!

Men’s Recap
By Jessica Wilson
This year, led by the sole senior
and team captain Chandler Kemp,
the Cornell men’s cross country
team grasped the opportunity to fill
the void left by the strong graduating
class of 2011. With the return of a
strong junior class: notably Brett
Kelley; Bobby Micikas; Matt
McCullough; Nick Wade; Andy
Arnold; and Kevin Johnson;
assistant coach Robert Johnson
was confident in the talent of the
team as a whole.
The men’s and women’s teams
hosted the first meet of the year
against Army and Binghamton,
where the young men’s team
successfully topped both teams.
Sophomore Max Groves led the win,
claiming first place, while Kemp had
a final surge to place second.
Sophomore Gabe Heck was fourth
while Kelly ’13 was fifth.

the first time of the season that the
men met clear Heps rivals Yale and

ever, Kelly led the Big Red placing
30th overall. Johnson proved his
hard work paid off, coming back
from a year of injury and helping the
Big Red significantly. Also competing
in the muddy course was Kemp
(54th), Groves (119th) and junior Matt
McCullough (147th).
In the second meet of the
season, the men headed to the
challenging Harry Lang course at
Colgate. The men placed ahead of
Colgate, and just behind Syracuse to
place second overall. Sophomores
Groves (3rd overall in 25:26) and
Heck (6th overall in 25:31) led the
Big Red men on the 8k course.

of Rochester for the Yellowjacket
Invitational, placing third. Sophomore
David Forward led the team finishing
fifth overall.
In the final home competition of
the 2011 cross country season, the
Big Red hosted the Reif Memorial
Run. The competition was also the
final meet before the Heptagonal
Championships. With three Heps
spots on the line to fill out the Big

championship, the Cornell men had
a tight pack bunched together much

two seconds and the finish-line

was the Big Red finish that a review of the finish-line
video was necessary. Sophomore John Schilkowsky
demonstrated that his middle distance abilities do, in
fact, translate to real capability over hill and dale with
an 11th-place finish of 27:35.9 to lead Cornell.
Classmate Christopher Christoff was two steps
behind, running 27:36.2 for 12th. And in a photo finish,
sophomore Andrew Herring out-leaned freshman
Kieran Kinnare 27:36.6 to 27:36.7, as Herring claimed
the final spot for coach Robert Johnson’s squad next
week at the HEPs.
Though the CU men graduated a strong class
the previous year, the team was determined to
fearlessly tackle the tough competition. Much like the
women, the men had tough conditions to compete
under. Despite an intense storm and many falls on the
slippery course, the men proved they were able to
handle any situation. In a breakout effort and despite a
fall mid-way through the course, Kelly led the Big Red
with an eleventh place finish. FInishing in 26th and

Groves. Finishing 33rd was junior McCullough who
improved significantly from last year’s championships.
The red placed fifth overall in the championship meet
in Princeton N.J..
In the final meet of the season, the Cornell cross
country men took eighth at the NCAA Northeast
Regionals in Buffalo. Sophomore Groves came in 43rd
place in 32:33.6, Kemp took 50th in 32:37.4 and
McCullough came in 63rd place with a time of 32:53.5
to round out the Big Red scoring. All together, Cornell
scored 216 points, one behind seventh-place Buffalo's
215. The meet was won by Syracuse (54 points),
which finished a combined 24 seconds ahead of
second-place Iona. Both Syracuse and Iona clinched
team berths in the NCAA Championships. Also
running for Cornell was sophomore Heck (135th,
33:59.0) and freshman Ben Potts (34:05.2), though
their times did not factor into the scoring. With much
of the young team returning next year, the men will
look to continue improving.

Fresh off of an exciting win at cross country Heps, the
Cornell women’s track and field team look to carry over
the same mentality as the move forward with the indoor
season. A brief look into the teams shows a strong and
passionate dynamic that will surely translate well as the
women seek the triple crown this year. The team, led by
an extraordinarily talented and strong senior class is
undoubtably up for the challenge and has proven to a
strong coaching staff their ability to dominate.

Getting to Know Captains:
Interview with Women’s Track and Field Captains
By Mina Amick-Alexis
As an incoming freshman on the women’s varsity
track and field team, I was excited and nervous to
meet the legendary captains – Molly Glantz and
Melissa Hewitt – that our wonderful coach, Rich
Bowman, had told us so much about. First I met Molly;
a tall, tan, lean machine with a personal best of 2:07.91
in the 800 meters, 58.96 in the 400 meter hurdles, and
57.41 in the 400 meters. Seconds after my meet-andgreet with Molly I was introduced to Melissa; an
extraverted, strong, and tanner track star with personal
bests of 11.66 in the 100 meters, 23.86 in the 200
meters, and 20’04” in the long jump. Throughout the
season so far, the entire team has been encouraged
every day during practice by the cheers of our captains
and we can’t wait to cheer back as they lead the team
to Heps! However, before we get there, here are some
riveting trivia Q&A’s about the 2011 – 2012 women’s
track and field captains!

Trivia:
Q: Which state is better, Illinois or New York?
A: Definitely Illinois. As much as I’ve loved living in
Ithaca, I can’t wait to be back in Chicago after I
graduate. If you haven’t been to Chicago, put it on your
list of places to visit.
Q: What is a secret that you have never told anyone?
A: I can’t think of one, apparently I tell people
everything.
Q: What is a secret about Melissa that you have
never told anyone? (don’t hold back)

me for saying this, but it’s the first thing I thought of,
sorry Meliss!
Q: What is your favorite Bowman quote?
A: Too many to choose from – “hey kiddo!” “help each
11
other out” “long-tall sally” “who does it better than us?
NOBODY!”
Q: Are the women’s hurdles proportionate to the
height of the men’s hurdles? If not, should they be
raised?
A: I think they’re perfect just the way they are.
Q: What is the worst fashion crime committed here
on the Cornell Campus? Have any of the girls on the
track team been repeat offenders? (names optional)
A: Sneakers with white socks and jeans that are too
short, so you can see the socks, always get me.
Q: What are four things you could not live without?
A: Potatoes (mashed and fried particularly), my bed,
Christmas, and my family.
Q: What is a nickname you’ve had that never worked
out?
A: My initials spell MEG, and when I was little I always
tried to make people call me Meg…but one never
caught on, it’s probably for the best.
Q: What is your most embarrassing moment on the
Cornell track?
A: This has never happened, but if I had to race
Melissa in anything shorter than a 400m, that would be
the most embarrassing moment for me.

Freshman Perspective
By Marianne Collard
It’s easy to see how freshman year can be so
overwhelming. You’re at a new school with new friends,
a new home, more responsibilities, different food, and a
new schedule. Despite the changing environment,
there’s at least one thing that stayed constant in my life
and that was running. Running was the one thing that
wasn’t so foreign to me. Every day I’d look forward to
going to practice, not only to run but to talk to the
coaches and hang out with my new teammates.
Although cross country here was a lot different than high
school, I still found comfort in going on long runs and
pushing myself to the limit in hard workouts. There’s
nothing better than that accomplished feeling you have
after you’ve attacked a tough workout.
at the most random moments. One thing in particular
that I love about Artie and Lou is how positive they
always are. Whenever I have a bad race or a not so good
day, they are always there to pick me up and make me
feel better. I’ve already learned one important life-long
lesson from the coaches and that is that you can’t
change what’s already happened so there’s no need to
dwell on the past, but it is important to learn from the
mistakes you’ve made so you that you can make
improvements in the future. I have countless memories
from the 2011 cross country season and have already
learned so much, but I know that there is a lot more in
store for me in the years to come and I can’t wait.
I couldn’t have been more pleased with my
freshman year of Cornell cross country and I’m already
excited for next season! However, the fun doesn’t end
now because the track season is just getting under way,
which is another new experience to look forward to. I
can already tell that track is going to be great. I love
walking into Barton and seeing organized chaos
developing on the track. Also, it’s awesome to see how
hard everyone works and how dedicated people are. My
track teammates, a lot of whom I haven’t even met yet,
have already inspired me to test my limits and challenge
myself to be the fittest, fastest and best runner that I can

serious when they need to, but also tell jokes and laugh
Not only did I love the running aspect of cross
country, but I couldn’t have been blessed with better
teammates. Even though I only met my new teammates
a few months ago, I feel like I’ve known them my whole
life. They are like sisters to me, my family away from
home. Through the sweat, from running thousands on
the golf course, blood from running through a thorny
bush on a long run, and tears, from winning Heps in the
craziest blizzard conditions, it’s been an amazing start to
my Cornell experience.

Freshman Perspective
By Stephen Mozia
When I first got to Cornell University, I had some
fears. What if I don’t make friends or how am I going to
know the ins and outs of the campus? Or why does
Cornell love using acronyms acting like CTB before I
went here. It’s not a feeling that’s too pleasant. Realizing
you’re a freshman all over again and now you’re that
newbie that does not know where anything is or who
anyone is. I decided to go to the Engineering Quad to
explore where my classes where but got lost in next to

“welcome to Cornell”, and I felt a sense a reassurance.

after a hard day of school and just relax. And in Cornell I
have had many a hard days so I don’t know what I’d do
without the track team and the track center.
Probably the best part of this year though has been
the bond I have made with the boys team. I feel like the
senior captain Bob Belden is like a second father to me.
He helps me with my throwing but more importantly he
teaches me a lot of lessons about life that he does not
even realize. I feel like all the older guys on the team are
like role models because they are examples that I can
survive in Cornell and succeed in track. Every time I

Spiked Shoe Society was off to another great start
this year, and we have already hosted a number of
successful events. In order to get the word out about
Spiked Shoe to the members of the team, we held a
barbeque for the whole team when the weather was
still nice in August. We brought yard-games, played
music, and had tons of food to share. Our last social
event was the Cross Country Heps Pump-Up Potluck,
which proved to be a success once the women
brought home the Heps championship! Our next social
event will be our first annual “Cans Film Festival,”
which will help us collect canned food for flood victims
in Owego while watching a movie together at Cornell
Cinema. In addition to the price of admission,
everyone will be encouraged to bring a canned food
item, as Spiked Shoe will be collecting them at the
door.
To kick off our community service this year, a group
of us participated with the Feed My Starving Children
organization by packing meals in early September. The
FMSC meals packed are distributed in nearly 70
countries through missionary partnerships at
orphanages, schools, clinics, refugee camps and
malnourishment centers. This past weekend, Spiked
Shoe continued our relationship with the local GIAC
15
(Greater Ithaca Activities Center) 5th grade track team
and held a mini clinic for the young athletes. Steve
Wexler and I went down to their gym and taught them
our dynamic warm-up drills, hurdle and sprint drills,
and ended with a circuit. This year, we will be starting
a mentor program with the team where each child will
be individually paired up with a Cornell Track & Field
athlete. Finally, Spiked Shoe has adopted two families
for the Adopt-A-Family program, and we look forward
to purchasing and wrapping gifts for those families as
the holidays approach.
Spiked Shoe has been working very hard to get all
of our apparel orders placed this fall. We’re ordering a
large number of sweatshirts to sell at Indoor Heps and
would love to see our alumni and family members
sporting them. The athletic department has also
partnered with Skor Sports so that fans of Cornell
Athletics can customize shirts, fleeces, hats, and
sweatshirts among other items with their favorite
Cornell sport. The track program will get 20% of any
proceeds from the Cornell Track & Field sales. We

Alumni Spotlight Karen Chastain ’01
By Lauren Lapointe
A couple weeks ago, on the week of
November 11, 2011, Karen Chastain
’01 was inducted into the Cornell
Athletic Hall of Fame. She was a
three-time Heptagonal champion in
the discus and a four-time All-East
and All-Ivy honoree. I got the chance
to ask her some questions about
herself and her experiences at
Cornell.
Can you tell us a little bit about
yourself?
I grew up as an Army brat, living all
over the US. I majored in chemical
engineering at Cornell, class of 2001. While at Cornell, I was on the track
and field team (as you probably
know), where I threw discus, shot,
weight, hammer and sometimes
(rarely) javelin. After Cornell, I
worked at Merck doing vaccine
development. There I met an
Australian, whom I married. We then
took 1.5 years to make our way to
Australia, traveling around the US,
South America, Europe, southern
Africa, and Australia before settling
down in lovely Brisbane,
Queensland. I am currently on
maternity leave with my first child
who is now just over 1 year old.
made material for vaccine clinical
trials. This experience, plus my
Cornell degree, was very well
regarded for the role I have at the
university. We help researchers with
promising biopharmaceuticals make
enough material for preclinical trials. Though I may not invent a cure for
cancer, I can help make someone
else's cure become reality.
How did it feel to become inducted
into the Cornell Athletic Hall of
Fame?
It was somewhat surreal (though a
lot of fun). I listened to the
accomplishments of the other
inductees and hall of fame members,
and was amazed and honored that
my achievements were considered
worthy to join this elite group. I was
very grateful for the opportunity to
thank the coaches and my
teammates for enabling me to
accomplish so much, as I don't
know that I had properly thanked
them before (or realized the full depth
of their efforts and commitment). Also, it was great to come back to
campus, visit with the coaches, the
team, and some former teammates. Just walking into Barton Hall brings
all the memories back.
What are you doing now and how has Cornell prepared you for it?

and being a captain on the team,
Cornell prepared me very well for my what was one of your fondest

What advice would you give to
Cornell track athletes?
Give it all you can, both in class and
on the field. These are your years to

academically!), and I wish for you to
walk away knowing you did the best
job you could, as that is when you
will be happiest with the results. But,

Alumni Spotlight Craig Holm ’76
By Chris Arlinghaus
Cornell Track and Field has always been a part of
Craig Holm’s life in some form or another. From his
father running for the legendary coach Jack Moakley, to
running on cross-country and track teams for four years,
to being a graduate assistant coach, to being a member
of the Cornell Track Association, Craig and Cornell Track
have stayed connected through the years.
After deciding on Cornell over Dartmouth and other
mid-Atlantic schools, Craig came to Cornell in 1972,
running cross-country in the fall the mile and two mile in
the spring. Although he experienced some success at
first, his first two years were a bit of an adjustment. It
was not until his junior year in which Craig experienced a
big break through. After spending the summer up in
Alaska with one of his friends where “all I did was run”,
Craig had by far his best season at Cornell. He made
the Heps team for Cross Country and set a personal
best at the time in the 2 mile, running a 9:05, taking a
minute and five seconds off his previous best. When he
finished the race (which was indoors) he thought too
himself, “I can’t be done yet, I forgot to run a couple of
laps!” Craig continued his success through his junior
year, earning “Most Improved” award, and into his senior
where he had by far the best year of his career. In crosscountry he ran under 25 minutes at Van Cortland Park
and cracked the all-time top ten lists in both the mile
(4:09) and the two mile (8:56). Craig’s most memorable
moment was from the indoor Heps his senior year: “Back
then the indoor Heps were always held in Ithaca. Barton
Hall was packed, the crowd was into it, and the
competitors were feeding off the crowd. There was deep
field running the mile that year and the pace was fast, I
was not feeling that good. But the crowd wouldn’t let me
quit!” Craig ended up placing second in the 2 mile later in
the meet.
While at Cornell, Craig studied Biological Sciences
and upon graduating he enrolled in the Johnson
Graduate School of Management where he earned his
M.B.A. Although his competition days for Cornell were
over as an athlete, Craig stayed on with the team as a
graduate assistant coach over the next two years,
helping coach the team to a Heps team championship.
After earning his M.B.A., Craig went on to become a
hospital administrator for a number of years, with some
time thrown in as a professional runner, and running a
marathon best of 2:14. After years in hospital
administration Craig transitioned over to health care
consulting, commenting, “consulting was great, the
projects were interesting and challenging and I found
what I really liked to do”. Craig is now a senior partner at
a health care consulting firm in Philadelphia and has
been there since 1989.
Craig is also a member of the Cornell Track
Association, as he serves on the executive committee
and has been involved with CTA for over 16 years. When
asked why he wanted to get more involved with Cornell
Track again, Craig said, “I looked back and saw that my
deepest connections were with me teammates. I wanted
to reconnect and give back to the place that gave me so
much.” Since then Craig has been furthering the work of
the Cornell Track Association, focusing on helping alumni
connections with the program. One of the big networking
WASTEBASKET Winter Issue
events that took place last year was the reception for
all Cornell track alumni before the indoor Heps
championships at The Armory in NYC last February.
Craig noted, “These receptions are great because
everyone gets to hang out with their friends again! It’s
amazing to look around the room and see how happy
people are reconnecting and catching up with each
other.” The next big event for the CTA will be the
indoor Heps championships being held in Ithaca this
year.
Aside from connecting alumni, the Track
Association also serves as ambassadors for the
CU
18
program to the athletics department and university as
a whole. The group helps facilitate the continual
improvement of the program, whether it is supporting
the resurfacing of the outdoor track, or keeping track
and field on the minds of the athletic department
administration. When asked what the biggest
challenge the Cornell Track Association faces, Craig
responded, “Our biggest challenge is that there is too
much demand. And that’s the best kind of challenge
to have. More and more people want to reconnect and
get involved with the program! Cornell’s Track and
Field page has more members on Facebook than all
the other Ivy track programs combined.”

January 2012
Collected By Artie Smith ’96
We welcome more alumni updates for our upcoming issues.
Please e-mail Artie Smith ’96 at [email protected] with updates
about you or your teammates!
Great to hear from Martha Rosett Lutz '78: “I
staged a running comeback following some medical
adventures in 2011. In February I had a 5-hour double
surgery. Eighteen days later I "ran" the 400 at an Indoor
Masters meet in 2:15. From March until April I worked
to regain conditioning, and then in April I had another 5hour surgery, which slowed me down again. (None of
these surgical episodes were running-related!) I was
due to turn 55 in October, so I looked up the AllAmerican Standards for that age group and discovered
that the standard for a road race 5K is 28:05. That gave
me a goal. Lexington (KY) hosted a USATF-certified
road race 5K in October, just after my birthday, and I ran
an official 27:11 to earn my first road race All-American
award from the USATF Masters division. Now I just
need to work on getting my sprint speed back!”
Martina (Hoppe) Barnes ’94 writes, “I ran into
Kirsten (Etka) Hallstrom ‘91 and they live in Michigan-and her family at Yellowstone National Park over
Christmas. Both of our families just happened to be
there for the holidays- what a small world!”

Natalie Gingerich Mackenzie '04 is excited to be
publishing her first book, Tone Every Inch (Rodale) in
February, and even more excited that the project
provided the opportunity to collaborate with fellow Big
Red mid-distance alum Miranda Kaye ('99) on the
research.
Kat Beck ’09 writes: “I am currently back in
school at George Washington University working on a
Post-Master's Certificate in School Counseling. I am
living in DC and loving it! I also recently got engaged
and am planning my wedding for September 2012 with
the former 2009 Eddy Street runners as my
bridesmaids! “
Jessica Weyman ’10 writes: “I am now studying
at the UConn School of Medicine and living in Ellington,
CT (basically farm country) with Greg Tutolo (my fiance).
We are getting married this year on July 21 in Monroe,
CT. To fuel my competitive edge, I competed in Tough
Mudder - New England last May and a triathlon in
August, both of which I plan on doing more.”
IN THE RUNNING WORLD:
WASTEBASKET Winter Issue
Morgan Uceny ’07 continues to make Cornell
proud.
In addition to winning the prestigious
Diamond League series title for the 1500 over the
summer in Europe, she finished the year as the
fastest female 1500 runner in the world, with a
personal best 4:00.06. The 2011 USATF 1500 meter
titlist, she also set a PR at 800 meters in 2011
(1:58.67). Most significantly, she earned the #1 world
ranking for 1500 meters by Track and Field News for
2011!!
The Big Red was well-represented at the USA
Men’s Olympic Marathon Trials on January 14 in
Houston. In a very fast race where the top three
finishers qualified for the 2012 Olympics in London
later this summer, Max King '02 led the Cornell
contingent with a 19th place finish in 2:14:36, a
personal best time by 58 seconds. Zach Hine '09
also ran a personal best of 2:16:40 in 31st place,
besting his debut at last year's Boston Marathon
(where he was the second American finisher) by 14
seconds. Sage Canaday '09 finished 43rd in
2:18:24, his 2nd-best performance in seven career
Paul Seider '49 Passes Away
Sad news to report as Paul Seider '49 passed
away on December 8th. Born on October 17, 1926,
Paul was a standout track-man for the Big Red, and
he was a remarkably loyal and generous supporter of
the program throughout his life. A member of the one
mile relay team that set the national collegiate record
in 1949, he also was the quarterback for the Cornell
football team and later played semi-professionally for
the New York Rams.
Paul served in WWII as a radio technician and after
Cornell, taught math at Alfred University and worked
for Wester n Electric as well as for Ogden
Technologies during the Saturn 5/Apollo Project. He
later became CEO of Radiant Industries. He and wife
Kay recently celebrated their 64th wedding
anniversary. In addition to Kay, he is survived by five
c h i l d re n , 1 6 g r a n d c h i l d re n a n d s i x g re a t grandchildren.
In lieu of flowers, the Seider family has asked
those who wish to honor Paul's memory to consider
donating to the San Diego Rescue Mission.
Thoughts from Lou Duesing
Paul Seider was a very successful entrepreneur
and businessman. Part of his success was built on
his ability to evaluate a problem, inspire and motivate
people to work together to solve the problem and
have everyone feel very good about the process and
the product when all was said and done. That is the
background he brought to our first encounter and to
my early introduction to Cornell, Cornell Track and
Ithaca, NY.
From the outset, Cornell Track did not have a
better, more capable, more insightful or cooler
supporter. I could never list all the ways he helped
20
over the 21 years I have been at Cornell. A good
cross-section, though, would start with a wonderful
meeting with Paul and Kay as they flew (themselves!)
from California to Ithaca to welcome my wife Laura
Toy and me to the Cornell community. We had a
wonderful, charming dinner at one of their favorite
restaurants on South Hill that resulted in two things:
one, Paul and Kay committed to donating $10,000 a
year for 10 years to Cornell Track, which immediately
took pressure off the fund raising expectations that
come with the job; and two, he and Kay became
close friends which helped Laura and me acclimate
more quickly and more easily to our new home.
WASTEBASKET Winter Issue
But Paul and Kay didn't stop there. Cornell Track
had many needs, and Paul stood ready to help the track
program become successful on a continuous basis by
providing volunteer leadership, financial support and
ongoing encouragement. Indeed, he was often the
voice of reason and moderation as the Cornell Track
Association partnered with the department and
university administration in several capital projects. One
serious need was an outdoor track facility which would
allow us to host home competitions and, more
important, provide a site for us to be able to practice on
a daily basis (and not have to transport people to Ithaca
College or Ithaca High School in order to have a
practice). Paul and Kay provided a most serious gift at
the outset of the fund raising campaign to make this
dream of an outdoor track become a reality. It was that
early gift that started the flood of gifts which culminated
in the construction of the Robert J. Kane Sports
Complex on the Cornell campus (with the Kathy Seider
Horton Score Board). In the fourteen years since it's
completion, between the men's and women's track
programs, we have won 28 Heptagonal Ivy League
indoor and outdoor track championships. The impact of
the new facility, and the subsequent boost to recruiting,
is immediately evident, and one of the most significant contributions to that success was the commitment
made by Paul and Kay Seider.
In recognition of their lifelong commitment to the
university, Paul and Kay were recognized as "Foremost
Benefactors" of Cornell in 1998. Their names are
inscribed on the wall by McGraw Tower in recognition of
this well-deserved honor.
In closing, Paul and Kay were most generous in
wanting to provide a post-graduate scholarship to a
graduating member of the women's track program,
making a profound statement in support of the Ivy
League model of the true student-athlete. Laura and I
were humbled when they chose to put our names on the
endowment. But, by far, we were most grateful for the
friendship and support from Paul and Kay throughout
our 21 year relationship with them. We are very sad at
Paul's passing, but are comforted in the memories we
have of the time shared with Paul and Kay and what
they have meant to our time at Cornell.
