JHU Men Profs Win Second Baltimore Marathon Corporate Cup Headline

The JHU Mens Profs, a cross-disciplinary team of faculty/runners, were presented with their second consecutive Baltimore Marathon Corporate Cup at a ceremony held March 3 at the Mayor's Ceremonial Room at Baltimore City Hall. The four-man team consists of Sanjay Arwade, assistant professor in Civil Engineering; Peter Searson, second row, professor in Materials Science and Engineering; Gerald Meyer, professor in Chemistry; and Thomas Haine, associate professor in Earth and Planetary Sciences. They're pictured below with Kevin Plank, second row center, president of Under Armour, sponsor of the Baltimore Running Festival of which the marathon is part; Wendy Brown, holding cup, of Legg Mason, sponsor of the team relay portion of the marathon; Mayor Martin O'Malley; and Councilwoman Catherine Pugh.

A race within a race, the Corporate Cup is open to any relay team with at least two members employed by the same company or belonging to the same organization. Dedicated runners, the JHU Mens Profs train nearly year-round and run on most weekdays with a group called the Hopkins Harriers, who meet at the Ames Hall breezeway on the Homewood campus. On any given day, they may do a "post run," a 10-mile loop out to Robert E. Lee Park; a "Lake run," about seven miles out to Lake Avenue and back; a "Ben 10," a five-mile loop named after group member Ben Schafer, assistant professor in Civil Engineering; or a track workout.
