As immodest as his phrasing may seem, LaBossiere did indeed outrun Sheryl Rosen and everyone else in the Florida State Univerity Medical Response Unit's fifth annual 5K race on Saturday morning, 25 January 2014. The master runner from Maine ran 20:27 over the 3.1-mile course around the FSU campus. Sheryl Rosen won the women's title for the second year in a row, finishing third overall in 21:36, a step behind her younger brother Matt Rosen (2nd, 21:35).
The Florida State University Medical Response Unit is on hand at all campus events to provide emergency medical services if needed. Included among those events are the many road races run around the FSU campus. The MRU even saved the life of an athlete who collapsed near the finish of the Tallahassee Marathon. The FSU MRU's support of so many running events seems to be taken for granted, though, because so few people turn out to support the MRU 5K. Here's hoping that changes in the future.
