21st Annual SPACE COAST MARATHON - February 16, 1992 Melbourne, FL Musante basks in Marathon Victory By Paul Enriquez - FLORIDA TODAY From Race Results Booklet Jim Musante doesn't have much luck when it comes to winning marathons. "Someone always seems to show up to beat me at almost every race," he says. "I never win - someone always rains on my parade." On Sunday, however, there was no rain in the forecast for Jim Musante. After finishing second last year, the 34 -year -old Winter Park resident easily won the 21st Annual Space Coast Marathon with a time of 2 hours, 43 minutes, 22 seconds over the 26-mile, 385 yard course stretching throughout north Melbourne. "I was ahead every step of the way, no one was really close," Musante said as he grimaced with fatigue minutes after he crossed the finish line in the parking lot of Brevard Community College's Melbourne campus. "I felt it was my race to win or lose." Don Dore Jr. of Lauderhill place second, more than 5 minutes behind Musante, while Robin Kane of Miami was third. Brevard County standouts who won age -group titles included Martin King of Merritt Island (20-24-year old) and Eric Partin of Cocoa (30-34). In the women's division, Margaret Mallet-Phillips set a course record (2:55:49) to defeat second place finisher Kitty Sokol of New Smyrna Beach. The Fort Lauderdale resident shattered the previous mark by nearly 4 minutes. A 5-mile race, held just after the marathon began, was conducted by the Space Coast Runners, the host group which put on the annual one day event. Rebecca Sparks, the pre-race favorite from Patrick Air Force Base, won the women's title after completing the extremely flat course in 31:14, more than 3 minutes faster than Rockledge's Joan Hyde, who was second. Bill Hibbard, a former Satellite High School star who now lives in Troy, Ala., was the men's champion with a time of 26:44, while Kevin Butler of Merritt Island was the top local runner by finishing third, 59 seconds behind Hibbard. While the 5 mile competition attracted a large field, the marathon was the most intriguing attraction for more than 160 runners from several states along the eastern United States. Musante, who lost to world - class runner Peter Maher in last year's Space Coast Marathon, is a veteran long distance competitor who has been a Boston Marathon qualifier for the last 12 years. He said Sunday's event was a training run for this year's race in Boston. "I wanted to get under 2:40, but I was nowhere close, which bummed me out," Musante said. "I thought I could do 2:35 or under if the weather was good." The weather - in the high 60s and low 70s under partly cloudy skies for most of the race - was near perfect for most spectators. But it was a bit too humid for most runners, including Musante. "I liked the cold weather, below 40 if possible," he said. "Today, I was dreading it. We started at 66 degrees, which is much too hot for me."
