YORK, PA, MAY 16, 2021—Nicky Tamberrino of Monkton, MD led a strong group of women in the York Marathon’s half-marathon race.  Tamberrino, a masters runner, won in 1:21:01.  Meaghan Murray of Baltimore was second in 1:22:36.  Caryn Just of Baltimore was third in 1:24:12.  Lizzie Royer of Baltimore was fourth in 1:26:33. Caroline Dorey-Stein of Bethlehem, PA was fifth in 1:26:59, to break up the Maryland domination.  Our friend, Emily Von Hedemann of Freeland, MD, was sixth in 1:29:12.  Emily is a regular on the rail trail, and does all her training from New Freedom or Railroad northward.  Leading the York runners were Lily Corsaro (9^th, 1:31:42), and Becky Doner (11^th in 1:31:50).  Becky has a Mt. Wolf address, but that’s close enough and she runs for the Flying Feet racing team.

Connor Nickel of New York City was the top male runner, finishing in 1:14:28.  Kyle Milden of Jersey City, NJ was second in 1:15:57.  Ryan Speer of Dillsburg was third in 1:16:50.  Steve Moore of Westminster, MD was fourth overall and top master, in 1:17:01.  Christopher Rovensky of Imperial, PA was fifth in 1:25:17.

The Half Marathon had 350 finishers.  We didn’t photograph it, due to the complications of trying to get good marathon photos out on the south end of the course, where the marathoners mostly have spirit and jump ability. Also, the staggered starts complicated timing for us and knowing who was actually leading.  Hopefully 2022 will bring a return to gun-time racing, where everyone starts at once in their respective races. 

Thanks to Randy Flaum for the photos downtown near the finish.
