Chance for Reflection in the Fifth Yearby William H. Kile IIIIt struck me driving into work a couple days after the race. We're fortunate "as a family" to have this race. It gives us an opportunity to honor and remember a great man - loving, caring, compassionate and unselfish man who left us all too soon. I think I knew my dad pretty well and I'm sure he wouldn't feel comfortable with all this attention, but he'd get a kick out of the fact that our family is involved with planning a road race. It's something that he always wanted to do, but never got the chance. It's hard to believe that the race has a five-year history. A lot has happened to the Kile family in that time. My mother, Nancy Kile, has established her own very successful paralegal business. My sister, Kim Suiter, is juggling a career and family with husband Dan and two beautiful children: Meghan, 6 and little two-year-old William Kile. "Fa fa" as Bill Kile, Jr. is remembered by his grand children, must have been smiling ear to ear when Meghan was the first girl to finish in the fun run this year. He would have been even prouder when Kim presented her daughter with the first-place trophy at the awards ceremony and the loud ovation Meghan received. As for me, I have stayed involved with running with this race and working for Athlete's Korner Sports Timing Systems. I have also continued officiating high school track and field, establishing a presence at the state level since dad passed. In addition, I was one of the officials honored at the Woodbury Relays this year, something I'm very proud of since my father received the same honor in 1996. This event is a lot of hard work, but worth every minute I put into it because it's for my father. It's an honor to honor him and I'll continue to do it for as long as humanly possible. Gary Knight, 22, of Philadelphia was this year's champion in his second BKMR appearance at 21:14. Two years ago he was third at 22:28. Daniel Deichert, 16, of Gibbsboro placed second for the second year in a row at 21:46. His time last year was 22:23. Carolyn Bujak, 49, of Palmyra was this year's female champion as she placed 25th out of 112 finishers in 27:59. The race raised $1,000 for The William H. Kile Jr. Humanitarian Scholarship Fund at Pennsauken High School.
