 Sep 10 RRCA Appoints New MS and TX (South) State Reps
Southern Region Director Lena Hollmann has appointed Tony Mozingo as the Mississippi State Representative and Lee Greb to serve as the South Texas State Representative. MISSISSIPPI STATE REP Mozingo lives and runs in south Mississippi, is a judge, lawyer and author who recently published the official guide to Mississippi’s premier running and walking recreational trail, The Longleaf Trace Companion, (www.toottootpublishing.com). Tony is a founding and life member of the Pine Belt Pacers (www.pinebeltpacers.org), a RRCA club which boasts of more than 200 members. He has completed dozens of races of all distances around the country since 1997, including the 2002 Ironman Hawaii. These days though, most of his running includes pushing or pulling at least one of his three children. Tony is the founder and race director of the annual Steam Whistle Classic 12K, held annually on New Year’s Day on the scenic Longleaf Trace. He is the past president of the Pine Belt Pacers and has assisted other clubs as a volunteer with road races and triathlons in the area. TEXAS (SOUTH) STATE REP Lee is a member of the Houston Striders Running Club and the Houston Area Road Runners Association (HARRA) since 2001. The past four years he has served on the Board of Directors of the Houston Striders. He has also served as a coach in the HARRA Sponsored Power in Motion (PIM) adult running clinic and currently is a coach in the Houston Strider Marathon Training Program (SMART). He is also serving as the “singlet guy” who handles the club clothing, and co-director of the Strider Fall Warm-Up Series of club runs. His volunteer contributions earned him a 2008 RRCA National Volunteer Award. A native Houstonian, Lee graduated from the University of Texas at Austin and is an employee of Toshiba International Corp- Industrial Division for the past 33 years. He started running in 1997 and ran his first marathon in January 2000 and has completed 46 marathon or greater distance races (including ten 50K trail runs) since then. Lee is also a triathlete and has completed numerous sprint and three half iron distance triathlons. His goal is to complete the 50 states marathon challenge (run a marathon in every state) and his 12th state will be Hawaii with the completion of the Maui Marathon on September 20th.. Later that day he will wed his fiancée Cheryl (who is a runner and a running coach with USA Fit). Lee has attended the last four RRCA Conventions since 2006, when the Houston Striders hosted it. He got his RRCA Coaching Certification in 2006 and gets his coaching CEC’s along with a lot of practical running knowledge and experience at each and every one of the RRCA Conventions that he has attended.
