I don't have lot to say this month. The rumors about Hilary Clinton moving to Westchester so she can qualify to
run for the Senate are false. She's really got her eye on the Presidency. But I don't feel threatened; she can have my
job.
Last time I encouraged you to try some of the many wonderful trails in the area. A few people have told me that
they tried it and enjoyed the change. Recently, I have had the pleasure of having a couple of new faces join me on my
Samrday morning excursions on the trails in and around Teatown. The invitation is open, if you'd like to come along.
There is quite a bit of variety races coming up in July and August. Of course, there's the Putnam Classic 8-miler
around Lake Mahopac on July 4*^' run it or volunteer, either way it's a lot of fun. The following weekend, a group of
Taconics will travel up to Utica for the Boilermaker (9mi.), an excellent event. On July 18*^ there are two events to
consider, an "Urban Challenge" 5mi. trail race in Van Cortlandt Park (a trail race in the Bronx? -try it!) and the Jan
Peek lOK which has been designated as a MAC event this year. August kicks off with the Taconic Biathlon in Sy
camore Park. Come to watch the runners swim, it's usually hilarious. Also check the schedule for the two best team
races of the year: the Masters Challenge (a Wednesday night in late July) with the Westchester RRC hosting, and the
Club Team Championship in Central Park. Each of these events provides you with the opportunity to run for the club
and to enjoy a wonderful post-race party. Check the schedule or website for details.
For a change of pace, you can try the Taconic Track series that begins the week after July 4^. The series will be
conducted entirely in Peekskill this year due to track construction at the other usual venues. Each week a different event
is scored as part of the TRRC championship. A total of six events are scored over the six-week period. Check the
application for details.
That's it for this time, next time there will be a guest column by Myles O'Rhodes in this space. Myles is back from
an extended self-imposed exile.

Jesse Tisch and Tom Edwards Win TRRC 1999
^^Hooked on Running" Scholarships
One of Taconic's best traditions is recognizing area high school
seniors who have excelled in running and education with a $500 scholar
ship. Local graduating seniors were invited to write an essay on how
running has affected their lives. This year's winners were Jesse Tisch of
Fox Lane High School and Tom Edwards of Brewster High School. Jesse
will be attending Bates College in Maine while Tom will be beginning his
college career at the Webb Institute in Glen Cove, New York. Good luck
t o b o t h !
This year's scholarship committee was lead by Margie Jeraci.
Also volunteering their time on the committee were Lee Saroken, Nancy
Young, Dave O'Toole, Carol Hansen, Mike Gossett, Joe Porcaro, and
Debbie Kenny. The time donated by this group of individuals has made
two area students a little happier (and wealthier).
