James Jackson of Aubrey, who is showing signs to be as a dominating force as a masters runner as he was when in his prime, has been selected as the Clines Running Corner's Male Masters Runner of the Year. It was announced on Thursday (Jan. 12) that Laura Nelson, 46, of Grapevine was selected as the 2011 Female Masters Runner of the Year. James had relatively limited appearances in 2011, but he made each race count and was undefeated in the masters division. Laura, meanwhile, was racing virtually every week and sometimes on back-to-back days. Laura, who was selected as the 2010 Female Runner of the Year, won more than 50 female overall and masters titles from 5K to half marathon distances and shows no signs of slowing heading into 2012. They will receive plaques and $25 gift certificates from Movin' Pictures at the Fort Worth Runners Club's post-Cowtown and awards party on Feb. 28 at the Cowtown offices. Read more about James. Read more about Laura.
After several weeks of trying to select the 2011 Runners of the Year from all the worthy candidates, two names continued to be among the top of the lists. One was Becky Angeles of Murphy, who was announced Tuesday as the Clines Runner Corner's Female Runner of the Year, and the other was Andrew Cook of Flower Mound. Becky, who rounded into condition after having her first child on Dec. 31, 2010, achieved a longtime goal by qualifying for the Olympic Trials. Andrew had one of his most disappointing moments in his running career by missing the Olympic Trials by two minutes with a 2:20:32, still an impressive effort. He enjoyed a good year in DFW events and because of those efforts was selected as the Male Runner of the Year.They will receive plaques and $50 gift certificates from Luke's Locker at the Fort Worth Runners Club's post-Cowtown and awards party on Feb. 28 at the Cowtown offices. Read more about Becky and about Andrew.
Note: Because of the several runners who had outstanding seasons and who were candidates to be selected in the Runner of the Year categories, I've decided to add a Special Recognition category.
