Overall winner Greg Cantwell of Port Jefferson finished his run by breaking the course record.

The , presented by the Babylon Rotary Club, through the winding trails near Southard's Pond, came home with more than just donations and a good and healthy cause – a record fell for the seven-year old race.

The previous record for the Dirty Sock Run 10K was 33:27, set by Franklin Diaz, of Farmingdale, in 2008.

On the women's side, Dix Hills resident Stefanie Braun, 21, took home the Female Overall Winner award, coming in at 14th overall at a 38:14 time.

The race also handed out awards to Babylon Town residents, including Deer Park's Ryan Zillmann, 23, who came in third place overall with a time of 34:21. Babylon Village's Tom Eickelberg, 23, was right behind him at 34:33. The women's Babylon winner was Jessica Petermann, 33, of Amityville, who finished 39th overall at 42:25.

Over 590 people took part in the race on Sunday morning. Make sure to check out more results from the race and individual award winners from the event.

As I explained, my post was made on behalf of another village resident. However, I did take theRead More time to read the statute and do have an independent viewpoint on this subject. While I do not feel that all dogs require a muzzle at all times, if you have a dog that you know to be a threat to other dogs or humans, you would have a duty to take measures to eliminate that threat before bring that dog into public. If that measure is a muzzle, then that's what must be done. As my post indicated, I believe strict enforcement would be exceedingly difficult and, perhaps, unnecessary (at least with respect to the muzzle requirement). However, a total lack of enforcement is dangerous and unacceptable. I think a little common sense goes a long way and I have confidence that those charged with enforcing the Village code could do so selectively. I understand that selective enforcement may be a concept that many feel uncomfortable with. However, just because the law requires a muzzle, that is hardly a reason to disregard it in its entirety and allow dogs with vicious propensities to roam around unleashed. I will leave it up to Village lawmakers to remove the muzzle requirement (and suggest that they do so) if that is what it would take to make people comfortable with the leash requirement.
