Rich Clark claims he saw penguins waddling across Porter Lake during the race, and no one is going to refute him as the long time Sugarloaf Mountain Running Club member captured his first ever Snowstorm Classic victory in a frozen-in-time 41:27. Bone chilling single digit temperatures caused beards and mustaches to become icicle laden, while the slippery road conditions caused several strained muscles and DNF’s. 
         But at the finish line, without apology or excuse, it was "Polar Bear" Clark with a commanding lead. Harrier John Bigos coldly claimed second in 43:01 while Chris Conz took third in a frigid 43:49. 
        Among the women, master Harrier Cheryl Place earned her second win of the season with an ice solid 45:23 clocking, good for eighth place overall, followed by Colleen Cummings in a shivering 48:45 and Kim Freedman in frosty 51:35. 
        A pair of fifteen year olds led the juniors: Jesse Regnier of Fast Feet Track Club fame in a chilly 46:18, and Mary Wilson, who ice-skated her way over the ten thousand meters in 54:03. 
        Was generational toughness on display? Of the 56 official starters, only two were between the ages of 19 and 34. It was veteran runners in their 40’s, 50’s and 60’s, joined by a handful of brave, young high school students, who challenged the Arctic conditions at Forest Park today and inscribed their names in the Harrier record books on what was a memorial Snowstorm Classic race.
