15th White River Water Carnival 4 Mile Classic
(7 August 1993)
Fresh-looking runners win Classic crowns
By Paul Glover of the Guard Staff
Winners of the 15th White River 4-mile Classic run were refreshed and refreshing. Brian Baker's sixth straight classic title happened on the eve of his senior season at the University of Arkansas - a season that he thought might not happen because of a mysterious injury. His time of 19 minutes, 43 seconds was just eight seconds off the record set last year. Candace Bennett Schram is a new face in the winner's circle, but she is a very familiar face to Batesville runners. Schram, 36 and mother of two, completed the route in 28:13.
