The annual general meeting was held at Janine’s restaurant, Mercedes, with both Mike and Tim giving members inspirational pep talks, and then conferencing to pinpoint individual goals. The Stockton Cup was awarded to Carol Keller for her leadership during cross country and on the Board, as well as her fine ability as a runner.
The Grand Prix circuit began again at the Stockton 10-miler. Impalas took a more restful approach to that race; following Mike’s admonition, that this was merely a warm-up to the season and to take it as a training run. Impalas were encouraged to move into the standings with the attitude of negative splits; finishing fast and first for the year, but focusing on individual goals as well. Two new events were important to the team this year: The Race for the Cure 5k and the Avon 10k. Both were held in Sacramento in the spring. Many awards went to Impalas in both events.
As a sign of a healthy and ever-growing membership, the team took on an assistant coach: Peter Goldmacher, who helped round out the coaching staff. Membership soared to 120 and the number at the track on Tuesday nights was upward of 50--all ably managed by our outstanding coaches.
Cross country co-captains were Louise Tench and Jody Littlehales, under the tutelage of Carol Keller. Throughout the year Board members worked toward creating a brochure that reflects the Impala spirit and provides information for prospective members. They also worked on a new Impala handbook-all you ever wanted to know about Imps-to be presented to members at the 1999 annual general meeting.
