The results of the 2002 Broad Street Run read like a Who's
Who of Wissahickon Wanderers. Fifteen Wanderers were among
the almost 10,000 runners who toed the line at the start of
the 10-mile run through Philadelphia on May 6. With their
long list of impressive times, the Wanderers served other
running clubs, and especially the Georgetown Runners of Canada,
with a simple message "Look Out, Here We Come!"

Newly-signed Wanderer Lynne Andersson jumped to the head
of the class with her performance at the Broad Street Run.
Reaching speeds that were, frankly, hard for Wanderers to
comprehend, Lynne finished 378th in a time of 1:05:34. Next
in line was Luke Tilley. With just a little more than a year
of running under his belt, Luke powered his way to a 1:10:13
finish. It wasn't long before Michele Tulino and Beth Johnston
cruised across the line in 1:11:15 and 1:11:23 respectively.
Then there was Ben Rayer, who has been fighting off injuries
this spring, crossing the finish line in 1:13:02 with Janet
Siegel not far behind in 1:18:01. Jennifer Martin bagged a
time of 1:21:27.

The Wanderer performances did not stop there. Tad Sperry
in a warmup for the Cabot Trail Relay scampered over the course
in 1:23:15, with Scott Quitel hot on his heels in 1:24:24.
Amanda Rice clocked a strong time of 1:26:13 while newcomer
Jen Parker, the Blue Ridge Queen, looks like she will be in
contention for Wanderers Rookie of the Year with a 1:27:24
finish. Wet Hen recorded a strong time of 1:30:22 and was
followed by Dara Goldberg in 1:31:01. Wanderers star Paul
Hines, beset by injuries this spring, cruised the course in
1:31, while Wanderers prospect Tom Peters with a strong finishing
kick recorded a time of 1:26:01.
Rock Steady's performance was lost for posterity when he
overlooked attaching the time chip to his running shoes. However,
it is believed that he finished the race in a time of about
1 hour and 24 minutes.
