10 Dallas Post Dallas, PA Friday May 30, 2033 Aston-Rome defends title Staff report FORTY FORT Wyoming Valley Triple Crown defending champ Amy Aston-Rome got off to a great start at defending her title on Memorial Day by win- ning top honors in the Forty Fort Lions’ 23rd annual Old Fort 5- Miler. The Wilkes-Barre YMCA 3-Mil- er on the Fourth of July is the second leg of the triple crown. The Sallie Mae Valley Classic 10 K on Aug. 17th is the final leg. It's unlikely that Aston-Rome will have a tough time defending her female title after the impres- sive performance in Forty Fort. The 36-year-old from Dallas and former standout Penn State run- ner cruised to an easy win in the female division, finishing sev- enth overall in 28:44. “It was great! I finally broke 29 minutes,” said Aston-Rome. “I haven't done that since college.” Aston-Rome ran for the Nit- tany Lions from 1985 to 1989. Her cross country team — which she was a part of as a freshman — finished 10th in nations in her first year at Penn State. On Memorial Day, Aston-Rome had hoped to run 5:45-miles. “lI finished the first mile in 5:36,” she said. “I felt good. So I ran with Sean Robbins (a 33- year-old from Dallas who fin- ished sixth in 28:29) the rest of the way. He always keeps a steady pace.” Aston-Rome ran her second mile in 5:46. She ran mile three in 5:51 and mile four in 5:53. But she felt strong going into the last mile and finished that in 5:40. Results for local runners Top 15 6. Sean Robbins, 33, Dallas, 28:29 7.
