Also on the men's side of the Broad Street Run, Marc Pelerin (fighting blisters) was 70th in 57:27, Cory Smith was 147th in 1:01:13 and Tom Parlapiano was 183rd in 1:02:40. On the women's side, Jon's sister Jenna was 19th (225th overall) in 1:03.46. Jenna -- a 2:58 marathoner -- ran collegiately for The College of New Jersey. Also noteworthy was the 1:09.29 performamce of Vicki Rudawsky (better known as Vicki Huber). She won 9 individual NCAA championships while at Villanova in the late 1980s and represented the USA in the 1988 and 1996 Olympics.
