He’s smart, he’s sassy and he’s allot of fun. The guy is also one heckuva runner and tristud. This year’s Golden Shoe recipient is the infamous Barry Jones, or ‘s.b.’ as his friends call him. (His wife, Brenda, can tell you what the letters stand for.)  

Barry has done allot this past year to bring SCR into the new century. He developed and maintains the SCR website which is becoming well known for up-to-date running and racing information. More than 23,000 folks have logged on in the last year and we are now getting close to 1000 hits a week.  

You may have also seen Barry at some of the SCR races catching the action with his digital camera. His photos have added a lot of life to this otherwise dull newsletter. His post-race galleries are on display on the website. He completely captures the spirit of each race.  

If you haven’t seen Barry at the races, maybe you’ve noticed an old, beat-up, white pickup truck full of equipment. Barry often lugs coolers, food, timing systems, trophies, tables and anything else that race directors need to make sure the race is safe and successful.  

So, if you’re out and about and see some tanned guy with wild hair, tell him ‘hello’ and ‘thanks’.
