Sorry for posting so late, as I just now see this thread.
Scarchuk's Supreme was the work of John Scarchuk at the CT Agricultural Experimental Station. Thick vines resistant to borers was one of the goals.
On a side note, I really freaked out his relatives a few years ago. We were both visiting the same agricultural booth at the state fair that had a display of squash. They mentioned that their grandfather developed the Black Beauty zucchini. So, I had to ask, "Your grandfather is John Scarchuk?". You should have seen their jaws drop.
