Ramos, 50, tops men's field in Super 10-miler

By Sharon Robb
STAFF WRITER
Posted January 16 2005

KEY BISCAYNE · Jorge Ramos has spent the past few years training his daughter, a top cross country and track athlete at Hialeah-Miami Lakes High.

Now that she is one of the state's best, Ramos, 50, is spending more time on his training and it showed at Saturday's rain-soaked Miami-Dade Parks Super 10-Mile Run at Crandon Park.

In chilly and windy conditions, Ramos topped the men's field to win in 1:01.06 in his final long race before the Jan. 30 Miami Tropical Marathon.

"Some of these guys were in good race shape so I didn't expect to win, but after 3 miles I felt good and picked up the pace," Ramos said. "I would like to be competitive again."

Ramos, at 34, won the now-defunct Metro-Dade Marathon in 1990 in 2:42:22. He is one of the state's top masters runners and has been chosen for Florida Finest honors at the Walt Disney World Marathon.

His children, oldest son, Welby, 24, a former top runner at St. Thomas University, and Isel, 16, have been his priorities in running, he said. Isel Ramos won the 15-19 age group title in the 10-miler in 1:13. Welby Ramos was second in the 5K run 16:51 behind South Florida newcomer Nathan Dorn of Miami. Cardinal Gibbons sophomore Billy Zenga, 16, was third in 16:54.

"This is the best I have seen him run in a long time ... since he was in his prime," Welby said of his father.

Jill Horst, 26, of Miami won the women's 10-mile race in 1:06:21, finishing ahead of Rosa Oliva, 29, (1:08:57) and Kenna O'Leary, 40, of Fort Lauderdale (1:11:29). Courtney Filliben, 10, of the Miami Milers, won the women's 5K race in 20:56 and is one of the youngest to win a South Florida open title.

Several runners used the 10-miler as a training gauge for the marathon. A field of 10,000 is expected for the marathon, half marathon and inaugural 5K.

Ramos, despite a nagging hamstring injury, was pleased with his consistent mile splits and said he's looking forward to running the marathon and returning to top form.

After a 4:48 opening mile, Dorn, a former runner at Division III Calvin College in Grand Rapids, Mich., maintained the lead to win the men's 5K title in 15:55 in his third local road race. He plans to run the Miami Tropical Half Marathon. Super 10-Mile Run
