Wysocki Returns for Redondo Run
Ruth Wysocki, a veteran middle-distance runner who has been serving a suspension for participating in three unsanctioned meets in South Africa in 1988, will compete today for the first time since her suspension was lifted by the The Athletics Congress’ Executive Committee after three years of appeals.
Wysocki, 34, will join the field for the Redondo Super Bowl Sunday 10K run. Her opponents will include Sue Lee of Canada, Jill Hunter of England and last year’s winner, Wilma van Onna of the Netherlands.
The race will begin at 8 a.m. at the intersection of Beryl Street and Harbor Drive in Redondo Beach.
Defending champion Thom Hunt will lead the men’s field.
An elite mile race will be held at 7:20 a.m.
