Williams, Friend-Uhl, 2 Canadian stars top Hartshorne Mile fields

About 70 runners are entered in Saturday’s 48th running of the Hartshorne Memorial Masters Mile at Cornell University’s Barton Hall, namesake son Tom informs me. The top seeds in the 40-plus and 50-plus elite races are Mark Williams (4:25) and meet record-holder Sonja Friend-Uhl (4:51) in the 40s and Toronto standouts Paul Osland (4:36) and Annie Bunting (5:22) in the 50s. Among last year’s elite winners (M40 Nick Berra, W40 Bernadine Pritchett, W50 Marisa Sutera Strange and M50 Alan Wells), only Marisa is back to defend her title. M65 superstar Nolan Shaheed, a regular at this event, is not listed either. Best of luck to all!

    I believe that Nolan Shaheed has a heel spur, compelling him to miss the race.

    Paul Osland of Canada, the 1988 Olympian, looks like the favorite in the M50+ race tomorrow. He looked very fit at the restaurant in Ithaca tonight. Annie Bunting and Lorraine Jasper both looked to be extremely fit tonight (also at the restaurant) and should do well in W50+ tomorrow.

    I did not see Sonja Friend-Uhl.
