Kent Lemme ran the fastest 5K Snowstorm Classic in almost a decade as the Williamstown resident burst from the pack at the bell and flew around Forest Park in a solo 15:57 effort. Witnesses at one point testified that he literally hurdled a frozen snowbank on route to the fastest time since Sandu Rebenciuc ran 15:38 in 1995. In gaining his second win this season the gazelle like Harrier narrowly missed by 5 seconds the age record for 37 year old men.  
           A stable of young thoroughbreds showed up for the season finale to take advantage of the clearing roads and moderating temperatures. Tom Michaud and Joe Czupryna were the best of the colts as they both clocked 17:19, Tom rewarding his backers with winning place tickets and Joe’s fans cashing for show. Sixteen year old Jason Ayr followed in 17:33. 
           Dave Reinhart lowered his own course record for 51 year old men, running 17:40 to slice five more seconds off the standard he set two months ago. The Harrier senior leader also won both the master and senior titles, topping John Kelley (17:56) and John Bigos (18:46) respectively. Newly minted Harrier James Morton was 3^rd in 19:03. Erv Landry was the fastest veteran in 25:27.  
           With a total of eight wins between them this season, the bookmakers were predicting a close race between Harriers Carolyn Webber and Kelly Heroux. Right on the money, both ran their fastest times of the season with Carolyn (19:52) pulling away from Kelly (20:08) for her seventh win this season, and 12^th career victory, thus moving her into a tie for 8^th place in the Hall of Fame. Not far behind was Sarah Thiede (21:17) whose 3^rd place finish led a large contingent of soccer players from Trinity College (Hartford, Connecticut).  
            Mary Ryczek returned for her second age record in as many weeks, as the 57 year old CMS mainstay ran 23:05 to erase another Doris Aronson record, the 23:51 the Harrier set 14 years ago. Mary now owns a total of 25 individual Snowstorm Classic age records, the most of any woman.  
            The 24^th annual Snowstorm Classic season ended with three runners completing  all thirteen races.  Senior standout Steve O’Neil added 13 more races to his career totals and has completed more Snowstorm Classics then any other runner. Punch his name in the searchable database for the impressive list. Not far behind, Brian Goddu who chalked up another 13 races, assisted at the registration table and was the Harrier media liason.  And of course, that venerable SMACer Bruce Kurtz who also added 13 and has now finished 91 consecutive Snowstorm Classics over the past eight years.
