Global Warming Strikes Snowstorm Classics
Tom Bousquet and Maureen Burns Enjoy the Weather
Global
warming made an appearance in Forest Park today as temperatures,
despite a little rain, reached an all time high (for January 14th)
of 55 degrees.
This time Willie O’Neill wasn’t the only one in shorts
and a t-shirt.
Runners are always eager to take advantage of a summer day,
especially in the middle of the winter, and none were more eager
then Tom Bousquet and Maureen Burns.
With
no less then seven previous Snowstorm Classic winners in the 5K
starting field and the roads clear, fast times were assured.
Once the Sacramento cowbell signaled the race was afoot,
the runners charged up the first hill.
By the Grandstand, where the usual collection of media had
assembled to cover the race, Harrier Tom Bousquet had broken clear
of the field.
The Chicopee teacher was soon delivering a running lesson as
he steadily distanced himself from the others.
The class ended at 16:34 when Tom was awarded his 2nd
lifetime Snowstorm Classic diploma. Peter Maksimow took 2nd
in 17:12 for CMS while GSHer Paul Fratini earned master honors with
a third place 17:29.
Peter’s teammate Frank Rucki was the first senior in 18:57,
narrowly missing his own record for 56 year old men.
EORC’s Bob Massaro led the veterans (over 60) in 25:26
while Tim Dannay was first junior (under 20) in 19:23.
Maureen Burns waited five years before registering her second
Snowstorm Classic win.
The Hampden resident, competing for the Merrimac Valley
Striders, made #2 a memorial one as her 20:43 clocking set a new
record for 45 year old women, erasing the 21:00 standard held by
Harrier Betsy Duquette for those same five years.
Newly minted Harrier Sarah Kasabian-Larson just missed the
win with a 20:55 finish followed by teammate Rogina Modestow in
21:32.
Betty Quinn won the senior title in 23:51 while 14 year old
Angelina Cavallini was the first junior in 27:09. |
