Snowstorm Classic #12 - 10K
February 21, 2004

               Carlos Rivera Surpasses Gary Crowley 
                     Sidney Letendre Wins With Age Record

           Carlos Rivera slipped past Gary Crowley into second place on the all time win list (Snowstorm Classic Hall of Fame) with a convincing wire to wire win, his fourth this season and 26th of his career. The ubiquitous Harrier bolted into the lead at the start, opened a sizeable lead while climbing the first hill leaving the park, then cruised the ten thousand meters in an unchallenged 37:09. Teammate Brian Walsh closed the gap somewhat during the latter part of the race to garner second in 37:48 followed by Andrew Lutz in 38:12.  
           Steve O’Neil clocked his fastest time of the season in 38:28 to earn fourth place and capture both the master and senior titles over fellow Harrier seniors Celio Hernandez who ran fifth in 39:57, and John Bigos who ran 6th in 40:05.  Charlie Towse completed a sweep for the home team by winning the veteran (over 60) title in 45:56, edging western New York ace Jerry Looker who scampered around Forest Park in a very respectable 46:44.  
           CMSer Sidney Letendre impressively returned to the Snowstorm Classics by racing to her 7th career women’s title in 42:03 thereby shattering one of the oldest Snowstorm Classic age records, the 49:34 record for 49 year old women set by Doris Aronson 22 years ago. Carolyn Webber gave chase in 42:50 for second followed closely by Kelly Heroux in 42:54 for third.  Several minutes later another CMSer erased another Doris Aronson age record. Mary Ryzcek added the age 57 record to her collection with a 48:29 clocking, slicing nearly three minutes off the 51:13 standard set by Doris 14 years ago.
