Chris Wadas and Marina Orrson Take Top Honors in 11th Annual Run for the Cannoli 5k

    The 11th Annual Run for the Cannoli 5k was held Sunday, August 17 in conjunction with the St. Mauro’s Italian Festival at Queen of Heaven Parish in Hazleton and with another great turnout of participants, 180 total, none could match the speedy effort of Chris Wadas who, for the second straight year, was the overall winner of the popular mid-summer classic 3.1-mile foot race.

    Marina Orrson the first female to cross the finish line in a record setting time of 17:41.

    Wadas, 32 from Courtdale, broke the tape at 16:14 which was 13 seconds slower than his record run of last year but still solid enough to claim the overall title.

    “I went out easier in my first mile at 4:49 compared to last year which was a bit quicker. The second mile was still good but once I made the right onto James Street that little hill there made my legs feel like cement. At that point I looked back and saw that I had a decent lead so I did what I had to do to maintain it,” said Wadas, who is the head Cross Country/Track and Field Coach at Misericordia University.

    Justin O’Brien of Orwigsburg was second at 16:35 while Berwick High School cross country star Dylan Grearinger rounded out the top three with a 16:51.

    Orrson, 23 from Shavertown and a member of the Susquehanna River Runners club, was plenty quick with her effort, coming in sixth overall. This was her first time running the race.

    “The first two miles felt good. I PR’d in the second mile but during the third mile I fell off pace a bit when it came time to run the final hill. I really enjoyed the race and it was fun to be part of it,” said Orrson, who most recently won the Valley Great 8 on August 2 in Conyngham.

    Second among the ladies was Kathleen Druther at 19:41 with third place being notched by Lisa Steffes with a time of 20:34.

    First place winners each won $100 plus a commemorative jacket. Orrson also won an additional $50 for setting a new course record for females. Second and third place finishers also took home cash awards provided they met eligibility requirements.

    Runners aged 9 to 77 took to the streets of Hazleton which continues to grow in both numbers and popularity as one the top challenging foot race events in Northeast Pa.
