At least that is what 703 runners in June 20's Twilight Park City Run discovered. Cabanillas. a premier runner run-ner at Brigham Young University for the past four years, was pacing himself off I he lead runner at mile one when somebody yelled, "Hey. you guys are running too slow," from the middle of the pack. j just wanted to follow the leader then make my move in 1 lie last mile." Cabanillas said. "Then when the guy in the pack yelled. 1 moved. I wanted to see if he really could run. "After I took the lead he never came out and challenged chal-lenged me." Cabanillas added add-ed with a grin. Cabanillas finished the race with a respectable 19:40, 3:3b seconds off the record pace set in 1980 by Paul Cummings. Cabanillas's 19:40 even becomes more respectable when you take in tit account he ran a race earlier in -the day - the five-miler at Sundance. He placed fourth in this race but said he could have had it won if not for missing a turn. "I had a five minute lead going into the last mile," Cabanillas said. "I didn't see . the final turn and kept going straight. By the time I realized what I did and turned around I was in fourth place." Starrett Top Woman Monica Starrett. 20 year-old starting point guard for the University of Utah's wo-mens' wo-mens' basketball team, turned turn-ed in the best time of the day for the ladies. Starrett. from Stratford, Conn., finished the course in 24:27, 0:11 seconds over the Twilight record. "I was gulping air because it is really thin up here." Starrett said. "I'm really happy I won the race because my good friend here is leaving for the summer and 1 wanted to win it for her." Starrett. who ran on the University's cross country team last fall, did not run competitively for over a year. She injured her hip in July, 1980. by "trying to race too much" in a race. The hip healed in time for basketball season. Although she has. Wheelchair racer Jim Simpson smokes toward the finisFi. been practicing since March, 1981. this was her first competitive race. One of the Best "1 honestly think that, taking everything into consideration, consi-deration, the Twilight Run has to be listed in the top 100 in the country." said race director Doug Beck. "And that is really saying something some-thing considering there are over 10,000 races in the country." Beck said that other than a brisk wind that prevented him from setting up the scoreboards at the beginning of . the race there were no other problems. The race . went "very smoothly". "The finish line never backed up or came close to bottlenecking and our results were very accurate," Beck said. "We had tremendous support from the Utah Amateur Radio Club giving us split times and helping with the race course super vision." Aside from enjoying the race the participants were treated to a good time at the Resort Plaza after the race. Miller Lite and 7-Up supplied supp-lied refreshments for upwards up-wards of 1,000 people, according to Beck. Beck said he "couldn't wait" to sponsor the race next vear and he would Please turn to page ZB Csatinued from Page IB more run implement some changes. "We'll be stronger on promotion next year and limit the field to 1,000." Beck said. "There will be advanced registration only and we will have places in Park City, Salt Lake, Ogden and Provo for people to register."
