Your 2008 officers are:

Ann Moran - Though a relative newcomer to the sport of distance running, I have completed five marathons, three half marathons, three 10k's and two 5k's in the last four years. With each race, I have PR'd and hope to continue along that route. My favorite marathon - Chicago; favorite running spot - the University of Minnesota Arboretum; favorite time to run - a brisk, fall morning; favorite running motto - "It's not how you start, it's how you finish."; my running inspiration - my mom who took up the sport at age 60. I plan on qualifying for Boston in the near future and hope to spread my passion for distance running in the Michiana area. If I can start later in life and be successful in running, anyone can!

Ryan Fenstermaker - Born in LaPorte, Indiana, I started running in 5th grade and haven't looked back, although basketball was my main sport until my junior year of high school. After LaPorte, I ran cross country and track at DePauw University graduating in 2005 with a degree in Economics. Since that time, I have run marathons in Akron, Grand Rapids, and Boston. My PR's are 4:24 in the mile, 9:24 in the Steeple Chase, 15:17 in the 5k, 32:30 in the 10k, 1:17 Half Marathon split in Boston, and 2:40 in the 2006 Boston Marathon. I am currently employed with 1st Source Bank.

Don Wisniewski - I have been running for over 20 years and still have all the race T-shirts to prove it. During that time, I have been attacked by dogs, cursed at, swerved at, had garbage thrown at me, and survived twelve consecutive winters of running in Northern Indiana. I plan on qualifying for the Boston Marathon in 2046.
