Coming off its most successful year ever, the Wyoming Valley Striders
running and racewalking club is looking to boost its membership even more in
1997. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 "We had over 300 members in 1996 -- our greatest total ever," said Striders
secretary/treasurer Vince Wojnar. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The club is almost certain to increase its numbers this year because of its
recent merger with the Northeast Pennsylvania Blazers, the area's only
racewalking club that had about 60 members. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 In November, board members from the Blazers unanimously voted to merge with
the Striders. Later that month, Striders board members approved the move. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 The Striders sponsor several running races throughout the year -- all
well-organized, first-rate events -- and there are plans for the club to
sponsor racewalking clinics in the future. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 The club makes available to its members one of the best newsletters in the
East. This year's publications will be filled with information about running
and racewalking, including members' performances, a listing of local and
regional races and clinics, a schedule of big races in other states and
notification of club-sponsored social events. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Anyone interested in joining the Striders running and racewalking club may
call Wojnar at 474-5363. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
