York, PA, September 24, 2022, 45th White Rose Run—Zoë Matherne of Philadelphia enjoys running the York White Rose Run, and definitely enjoys winning it.  She won this 5-mile city race in 29:27. Matherne joins Caroll Myers and Julie Bowers as four-time White Rose Run champions.  She had been tied with Misti Demko with three victories. 

Samuel Gerstenbacher of Lancaster became the first repeat men’s champion since 1987 when John Doub won four straight from 1984 to 1987.  Gerstenbacher, who runs for the colorful F & M Track Club, won in 24:33. 

2020 champion Christopher Myers of Lancaster, was second in 25:21.  Ty Stump of Camp Hill was third in 26:20, Ciaran Fisher of Marion Heights, PA was fourth in 26:25.  Nate Romberger of Lewisberry was fifth in 26:32.  Eric Ferree of Seven Valleys was top master in 30:23.  Evan Sandt of Conestoga was second in 30:49.
