ThunderDome Running Race Team Action (Records & Medal Performances)

2012 has gotten off to a blazing start for the ThunderDome Running race team. Through mid-February the race team already has one race record in the books and two top 5 individual race performances in USATF National meets.

The ThunderDome Running team of Eamon McKenna (Milwaukee), Cal Kromm (Oshkosh), Aaron Nodolf (Menomonee Falls), and Matt Thull (Milwaukee) set the Ice Breaker Indoor Marathon relay record placing first in the 110 team relay field in a time of 2:12:44.The race took place on Jan 21 at the Pettit National Ice Center in West Allis, WI.

Over this past weekend Keith Mulhollon, fresh off his 5th place finish at the USATF National Master's 1/2 marathon champs in Florida the previous weekend, raced to a 3rd place finish at the Master's 8k Cross Country National champs in St Louis. A crazy double for Keith a week apart coming from the 70 degree race temps & high humidity of Florida to St Louis where on race day it was 18 degrees and 25 MPH winds.  Keith took control of the 8k cc race early on and pushed the pace working to take the kick out the the field but just came up a bit short finishing 3rd in a time of 26:15. A national USATF medal stand performance and an awesome way to wrap the week.

Next up for the ThunderDome team is the Bank of America Shamrock Shuffle 8k (the worlds largest 8k) in Chicago on Sunday March 25 and the Martian Invasion of races in Dearborn, MI. If you ever wanted to see first hand one of the most organized and well run races in the entire Midwest check out the Martian Invasion of races on April 14 this year.
