>A Celebration for Our Queen B-Jean Brunnenkant
On Sept. 1st, our club had a birthday party for Jean Brunnenkant, our Queen B, a few days after her 96th birthday. She has been a role model for racewalkers, runners (and couch potatoes) for many years, winning Gold medals in 5 different age divisions at the National Senior Olympics, and being a friendly, helpful presence at our club for over 20 years. Just recently (Sept. 23) she won another medal in the 1500-meter racewalk at the Kansas Senior Games in the 95-99 division (see Results). We are truly blessed to have Jean as part of our racewalking family and continue to look to her for inspiration.
