Local Triathletes Dominate Results in Central Florida Triathlon Series
posted by Joe Williams on Jun 20, 2009 6:53:39 PM
Clermont’s Rose Stasiowski, a 36-year-old triathlete,won the women’s championship in Saturday’s Race No. 1 of the 24th annual Central Florida Triathlon Series and Minneola’s Kevin Grogan, also 36, won the men’s championship in the race.
The race, the first of three in the series, all at Clermont’s Waterfront Park, included a .25-mile swim, an 8-mile bicycle and a 3-mile run.
Stasiowski posted a time of 51 minutes, 36 seconds to take the women’s title. Grogan ran a time of 43:29 in the men’s race.
Second-place n the men’s race also went to a local with Nic Tautiva, 19, finishing exactly one minute behind Grogan in 44:29 and Bill Picciano, 43, of Jupiter finishing third in 45:35. Defending series champion, Andrea Ugazio, 43, of Kissimmee, finished fourth in 46:24.
Top three in the women’s race after Stasiowski were Christina Taylor, 22, of Parkland at 55:05 in second and Jackie Clifton, 48, of Palm Bay was third at 55:44.
The male relay team champions were the Ecolab team from Altamonte Springs in 56:44. The team consisted of Brad Goembel, Scott Nevil and Allyn Rosenbaum. The women’s relay race was won by Rock Bottom, a two-woman team from Nassau, Bahamas, which went 1 hour, 2 minutes, 50 seconds and consisted of Kerri Pinder and Patricia Cates. The winning coed team, the Barnacle Heads from Oviedo, finished in 1:16:37 and consisted of Joshua Cates, Hazelyn Cates and Kimberly Pinder.
A field of about 380 triathletes, including relay teams competed in the meet. Results from the race are posted elsewhere on the Fitness Center blog.
The next two races in the series, also at Clermont’s Waterfront Park, will be on July 11 and Aug. 15. For more information on the series, contact Sommer Sports at 352-394-1320 or check out the Sommer Sports website at triflorida.com.
Grogan had this to say following the race.
“I look forward to the Clermont [Fred] Sommer series every year. It’s our hometown series and it is fun to compete with many of our training partners. The conditions were a bit hot today but a solid field showed up and I am already looking forward to the July race.”
“You know we are in the middle of the triathlon season when you get a field like we had today. I think we had five past Sommer Sports overall champions on the men’s side [Grogan, Tautiva, Picciano, Andrea Ugazio, and Chris Huff]. So needless to say, I was happy to get the win. It was a solid elite field.”
“I am probably more proud of this win considering the company than just about any other overall win I have ever had.”
