Johnston, Zoltner Take RT Turkey Run

Under ideal racing conditions for late November at Mendon Ponds Park, sunny and temps in the 60's, both Carl Johnston, 36, of Ontario, NY and Pittsford's Sue Zoltner, 35, became two-time winners of the R.T. Turkey Run 5-mile race at Mendon Ponds Park. Johnston, who also won in 1996 (26:37), out legged runner-up Jim Bathgate of East Rochester (27:30) and early pacesetter and recent Greece Athena HS grad, Steve Strelick (28:28), to win in 27:06 over the traditional course that includes one mile of trails with Cardiac Hill at the halfway point. Zoltner, who won this race in 1991 (33:05), just keeps getting better as she won the 24th edition of this Thanksgiving classic by over two minutes in 32:40. Women's runner-up was 20-year-old Elizabeth Canfield of Pittsford in 35:15.
