Halesite Firefighters Compete in St. Patrick's Day Race

Saturday, March 9, 2013

Twelve members of the Halesite Fire Department participated this morning in the St. Patrick's Day 4 mile run organized by the Townwide Fund of Huntington. Ten members made up two teams that competed in the newly created "Firefighter Category" team competition.

Halesite's A Team, consisting of Sarah Apgar, Mike Magerle, Wayne Jeno, Ryan Pavelka and Kevin Kelly, won the category with a combined time of 165:28. Halesite's B Team, comprised of Hugh O'Brien, Bob Pavelka, Alex Niedziela, Steve Lapp and Dan McConnell, came in second with a time of 198:07.

Organized by Sarah Apgar, the new Firefighter Category was created to put a spotlight on the importance of physical fitness in firefighting. In recognition of their victory, Halesite will hold on to the Firefighter Category trophy until next year's race.
