Snowstorm Classic #10- 10K

Carlos Rivera Earns Win #36

       Maureen Burns Wins With New Age Record     

            The groundhog may have seen his shadow a couple of days ago but the mild winter of 2006 continued with temperatures in the 40’s and nary a spec of snow nor ice on the 10K course. Club members were eager to take advantage of the fine conditions.  Several previous winners toed the starting line for the Harriers including Steve Lombardo fresh off his 5K win last week, newly minted master Paul Fratini who earned a blue ribbon in December and Carlos Rivera with four victories tallied so far this season.  Half an hour plus after the sound of the Sacramento cowbell GSHers had swept the first six places and all the men’s divisions. 
         Carlos and Paul broke free from the pack early and waged a classic footrace around Forest Park.  But in the end it was the nearly unstoppable Carlos earning his fifth victory of the season in 36:06 with Paul close behind in 36:18.  Steve was 3rd in 38:40, followed in short order by teammates Joe Fois (38:47), Steve O’Neil (39:34) and Billy Rowe (39:43).  Paul was the first master, Mr. O’Neil the first senior while Art Roberts took home veterans (over 60) honors in 43:45.   The win gave Carlos his 36th lifetime Snowstorm Classic title as he continues to pull away from all challengers in the Hall of Fame listings.
          Several runners chased age records including Mr. Fratini , Frank Rucki, Betty Quinn and Lyn Walker (2 seconds off her own record) but only Maureen Burns was able to topple one of the tough standards as the 45 year old Merrimac Valley Strider clocked a 41:35 to erase Harrier Betsy Duquette’s 43:05 set on December 2, 2000.  Maureen’s 2nd win this season is her 3rd lifetime Snowstorm Classic victory.  Harriers Dawn Roberts (42:32), Kelly Joyce (42:40) and Abby Kingman (42:51) and Rogina Modestow (44:03) followed Maureen across the finish line.  Hartford Track Club’s Lyn Walker (48:24) again won both senior and veteran titles while thirteen year old Mandy Sullivan was the first junior (under 20) runner in 1:05:06 .
