January Term: Imagination Runs Wild A slippery start at the Frostbite 15. On January 21st Western Maryland held its first open road races, the Frostbite 5 and 15. The races of 5 and 15 kilometers were run in spite of the freez- ing rain and fog that plagued the morning of the races. The Frostbite represented a course require- ment for those taking Dr. Case's and Dr. Herlo- cker's "Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Running ... " The students didn't run in the race but administered the race instead. Approximately 200 runners reported for the races which were both won by visiting runners. The 15 kilometer winner was Mark Stevenson (51:42), and the 5 kilometer winner was Steve Gi- more (17:40). Western Maryland did have two top ten finishers in the 5 kilometer with Jim Green- wood (18:54) and Jon Isaacs (20:03). Dr. Herlocker recalls the distance traveled. 39
