Pineapple 10K Run--Melbourne Beach, Fl. May 4th, 1985 Chris Fletcher 20 days earlier had placed 9th overall in the Boston Marathon and He was only 5 minutes out of second place. You have to consider Chris doesn't get to train on hills here in Brevard and had to "make do" with a somewhat dangerous 2 foot path patch up the Melbourne Causeway. You have got to give him lots of credit and we're very proud of you Chris. Keith Witthauer won this years race in a breeze with a 31:32 clocking , more than 1 1/2 minutes ahead of Bob Perry. The time also represented his fastest ever in a 6.2 mile race in Brevard. Also ahead of Chris Fletcher was Monty Brothers at 33:29--and the fifth place finisher Jeff Small was less than 1/100th of a second behind Fletcher. Yet, even though it isn't his best distance, Fletcher said it would have been hard not to race in the town he lives in, especially with it starting in his own front yard, Ocean Avenue. It was his first race since Boston and he wanted to enjoy the two to three weeks after that marathon. I 've gained 10 to 15 pounds since Boston. Fletcher the two time defending Space Coast Marathon winner, will not defend his title in November, He will run in the New York City Marathon in October and then compete in a December Marathon in Hawaii. Witthauer will compete in a 10K race on Kauai. Since he is the two -time defending champ, the race sponsors will pay for Witthauer's expenses to fly to Hawaii. Because he is unable to find a teaching job in this area (he's been a substitute for the last 1 1/2 years) Witthauer said he will return to the West Coast, specifically California, this fall to work The first woman across the finish line was Brevard Community College assistant track coach Delight Chambers. Chambers was 42nd overall with a time of 39:23. Top Ten Men's Results 01. Keith Witthauer 31:32 02. Bob Perry 33:10 03. Monty Brothers 33:29 04. Chris Fletcher 33:52 05. Jeffrey Small 33:52 06.
