Voeller, Glasi pace local runners in Whidbey Island Marathon

Kacie Voeller and Thomas Glasi of Oak Harbor topped the list of local finishers in the Whidbey Island Marathon Sunday, April 14.

In addition to the marathon, runners competed in a half marathon, 10K, 5K and kids 1K.

Andrew Riesen of Seattle (3:07:32) and Dominique Stasulli of Longmont, Colo., (3:13:43) finished 1-2 in the featured race, the 26.2-mile marathon, to lead the men’s and women’s divisions.

Voeller was the first local runner to finish, placing fifth overall in 3:24:51. Glasi was the top local man, taking 21st overall in 3;49.32.

Oak Harbor’s Willy Mendoza posted another local highlight. Wearing bib number 100, Mendoza, 67, completed his 100th marathon, all run after his 50th birthday. Fighting through injuries that hampered his training and ability to run Sunday, Mendoza took 113th in 4:47:52. Although he qualified for this year’s Boston Marathon, which was run Monday, Mendoza chose to hit the 100-race milestone in his hometown since 1979 in front of his family.

Seattle’s Ulit Steidl, who finished second in the half marathon last spring, grabbed first this time around in 1:16.32. Seattle’s Kristi Houk, who is among the leaders each year, finished first in the women’s division and ninth overall in 1:29.03.

Leading local runners in the half marathon were Oak Harbor’s Brandon Clapp in 28th in 1:38:49 and Michelle Saksa in 120th in 1:53:55.

Oak Harbor’s Andy Wyman won the 10K in 36:49, while Seattle’s Julie George finished second in 39:05.

The top local female runner was Oak Harbor’s Brittany Rowand in 21st in 48:38.

The 5K winner was Douglas Jordan of Seattle in 15:55. Oak Harbor’s Addisen Boyer was the leading woman and seventh overall in 23:57. Oak Harbor’s Brandon Parham, who won the race in 2018, was the fastest local man, taking third in 20:00.

Over 600 participants finished the half marathon, 158 the marathon, 280 the 10K and 228 the 5K.
