Start! The Annual National Library Week...
Run To Your Library... 

     April 12, 2003--St.Croix, Virgin Islands--People who run races of distances of a mile to the marathon are dedicated and focused.  That’s the least that can be said of Theresa Harper who won her last race in St. Croix before running the Boston Marathon a week from Monday.  Alex Adams show continued progress as he won his first road race with a time of 20 minutes and 10seconds.  Harper was unchallenged in the women’s field and shared the lead in the race with Adams until he pulled away on lap three of the four lap 3.1 mile course down King St. and up Company St.  She did narrow the gap as the two raced down King St. To the Florence Williams Public Library finish one second behind in 20:11.  Michael Hurst took second for the men in 21:40; Earthla Arthur took second for female 22:37; Mc Donald Taylor was the third male in 25:17; Jo Shim was the third female in 24:16 was 12 year-old Mc Kiesh Taylor was fourth in 25:17 and Jack Branch was fourth in 27:17.  
     The race was the culminating event of the celebration of National Library Week at the Florence Williams Public Library.  The race was sponsored by the FRIENDS of the Florence Williams Public Library which provided medals and certificates to the winners/participants and a one year subscription to Running Times Magazine to the first place male and female finishers.
