Meet our 2023 Officers!

2/4/2023

1 Comment

 
At our December club meeting, the following members were voted to be Central Maine Striders officers for 2023:
Ryan Goebel, President
Ryan started running in high school, mainly because his best friend told him he should. Together, they were two of the top runners on a team that was the top-ranked cross country team going into the state finals. Unfortunately, the whole team came down with the flu that week and finished last at the state meet. Other than a brief period when he trained for his first marathon in his senior year of college, Ryan didn't really get back into running seriously until his late 30's. What started out as attempting to run a 5k under 20 minutes has turned into 6 consecutive marathons faster than the Boston Marathon qualifying standard for his age.
When he's not running, Ryan works as a business intelligence analyst at Unum and obsesses over traveling to new countries around the world. He lives in Waterville with his wife Suegene and pet bunny Zuzu.
Ryan is entering his fourth and final year as the Central Maine Striders club president.

Kate Scott, Vice President:
Kate rediscovered her love of running a few years ago and enjoys the restorative properties of a good, long run. Some of her favorite local places to run include the Quarry Road trails, the much more relaxing Winslow-Benton Rotary Centennial Trail, and any route that includes running across the Two Cent Bridge. Although usually more of a warm season runner, this year Kate is enjoying winter outdoor running and experimenting with the best gear to stay warm (and visible!). She looks forward to running the Summer Quarry Road Race series, the Trail Festival at Pineland Farms and the Maine Half Marathon.
Kate is a long-time telecommuter and works for a large healthcare company. She has two amazing teenagers and spends her spare time getting outside, volunteering at her kid’s swim meets, catching up with friends and family, and occasionally sneaking a nap on the couch.
Ron Peck, Treasurer:
Ron's running career began in his senior year of high school where he was coaxed into joining the cross country team. After this introduction, he stopped nearly all exercise for about 10 years until getting into triathlons. He quickly discovered that the running part was much more to his liking than swimming (hard to breathe underwater) and cycling (bicycles are complex mechanical devices). Ron enjoys running all distances from 5k to marathons and could be convinced to try an ultra someday. Aside from running, Ron enjoys walking his dog through the woods while listening to history podcasts. To pay for running gear and race entry fees, Ron works at Colby College as a biology professor. He lives in Waterville with his wife, Toshiko, and two teenage daughters.

Amy Stabins, Secretary:
Amy didn’t become a regular runner until her early 40’s. At that time, she fell in love with trail running. Last spring she ran her first (and probably only) marathon at Sugarloaf. Her favorite race is TUCARD, where she earned the titles of Lost Dog in 2021 (athlete who covered the most distance) and Puppy Dog in 2022 (athlete who had the most fun, for running the race in a TARDIS dress). Amy is married to Henning (casual runner), and has two kids- Alison (committed trail runner) and Lukas (joined cross country for his senior year of high school but mostly a casual runner). She works as a substitute teacher at Winslow High School and as a member of the Kennebec Water District board of Trustees. Her other hobbies include hiking, camping, cooking, xbox gaming, reading, quilting, and knitting.
At the meeting, the board of directors was also reappointed.  The board of directors consists of: Patrick Guerette, Alicia MacLeay, Tom McGuire, Julie Millard, Ron Paquette, and Ron Peck.
