SOMERS - Nick Szczech of Cudahy made it two straight Saturday.

Szczech, a former standout track and cross country runner at Milwaukee Thomas More High School, won the fourth annual Alex DeVinny Memorial 4K Run/Walk held Saturday on the UW-Parkside National Cross Country Course.

The 20-year-old Szczech covered the 4K course in 12:37.6, an improvement of 13.6 seconds over last year's winning time.

Cory Harris, 20, of Burlington was second in 13:54.2 and Ben Schmitt, 19, of Burlington was third in 14:05.8. The top Racine finisher was Andy Kaestner, 44, who was 12th in 15:27.9 and first in his age group (male 40-49).

Brittney Feiror, 14, of Kenosha was the first female finisher. Feiror finished in 16:55.8 and was 21st overall. Leah Rendflesh of South Milwaukee was next, finishing in 17:51.0 (30th overall) and former Park High School standout Samantha Schiro was third among women, finishing in 17:55.3 (32nd overall).

Female age-group winners from the county were Kelsey Schaeffer (Racine) in the 16-19 age group (17:58.8), Lynn Hollow (Racine) in 40-49 (19:55.8), Carole Pucely (Racine) in 50-59 (22:56.1) and Fern Davis (Burlington) in 60-69 (29:44.7).
