Report of the Glenn D. Loucks Track and Field Games
May 9-11, 2008
Held at White Plains High School

The Glenn D. Loucks Track and Field Games were held at White Plains High School on May 9, 10, 11, 2008. This was the 41st anniversary of the games and they were a huge success, thanks largely to the assistance provided by the Rotary Club of White Plains and its members. More than 230 teams totaling over 2400 athletes were present at this year’s event, making it the largest on-site high school invitational track meet in the country. It was also the inaugural meet at the White Plains new state-of-the-art track.

The Rotary Club fed almost 1,000 athletes and coaches at the Friday night dinner held at the High School Cafeteria. Among the Rotarians who worked non-stop for over three hours were Jo Falcone, Mike Baker, Nick Wolff, Helene Mogridge, Don Sharp, Tina Mancuso and her friend Steve, David Schribman, John Wirth, Harry Bright, Larry Severino and Tim Donahue. Next year, if we have the same number of students, we could use additional help.

On Saturday morning, the Rotary open 5k run attracted 124 entries – more than we have ever had before. Thanks go the Rotarians who helped at registration, served as marshals, bought and served refreshments after the race, and generally helped to make the event a great success. They were Nick Wolff, Micaela Kelly, Mike Baker and his friend John Zuckascus, Jonathan Schere, Carl Winterrose, Tina and Steve, Collette Gotte, Paul Schwartz and Richard Scanlan.

My son, Dan, and Victor Marks handled the water stop at the race.

We have been receiving generous contributions towards our goal of making a $5,000 contribution to the games. We are almost at the $4,000.00 mark. Please keep your contributions coming.

Special thanks to Nick Wolff and Leon Silverman for underwriting the T-shirts for the 5k race. Special thanks also go to Mike Baker who raised over $1,200.00 from friends who supported his run.

Again, this year we were the single most important contributor and sponsor of the Loucks Games. We were again thanked profusely by members of the Loucks committee and officials of the White Plains School District. I will be distributing Journals which indicate our involvement in the event.

I hope I have not inadvertently omitted any Rotarian who pitched in to assist over the weekend.

Thanks to all of you for your support in this worthwhile annual endeavor.
