Connecticut’s Mike Owens prevented Carlos Rivera from winning his 6^th race of the season with a strong move at the 3K mark. Running under the Athlete’s Foot banner, Owens clocked 16:43 over the certified 5K course, the year’s fastest time.  Rivera crossed the line in 16:57, while master’s winner Steve O’Neil took third in 17:12.

GSH swept the women’s race again as Kris Ross caught early leader Heather Wenninger just beyond the first kilometer and gradually pulled away to a 20:19 victory. Wenninger ran 20:59 for 2^nd while Mary Misiaszek took 3^rd in 22:59.

Robert Knowlton ventured down from the Pittsfield hills for his annual jaunt, and in only 29 minutes and 46 seconds became the oldest runner to ever finish the Forest Park course. The eighty year old Harrier not only notched his 7^th consecutive age record, but he outran five runners in the process, spotting each of them between 18 and 63 years.
