Carlos Rivera Cruises to 37^th Snowstorm Classic Title

          Kelli Lusk Speeds Under 40:00 Again       

         The weather turned colder for the season’s final tour over the Snowstorm Classic long course but the results were more predictable...Carlos Rivera and Kelli Lusk for the win. 
        Carlos has practically owned the 10K course this winter, with today’s victory he pocketed five of the six races.  Never seriously challenged, he soloed around the Forest Park roads in a sharp 36:28 while earning his 37^th career Snowstorm Classic title.  His Hall of Fame lead is going to be difficult to overcome in the ensuing years.  Empire One’s Bob Landry gave admirable chase to finish 2^nd in 37:34, just outlasting 3^rd place finisher Steve Lombardo (37:50) of the host Harriers.   Steve O’Neil (40:37) outran fellow GSH senior Rich Clark (41:32) to garner both the master and senior titles while Art Roberts (43:32) added another veterans title to his collection. 
        Kelli Lusk, journeying down from the mountains and trails of Amherst, clocked her second sub 40 minute effort in as manner starts over the relatively flat Forest Park roads.  The speedy Central Mass Strider just missed the age record she set last month with a 39:46 finish. Empire One’s rapidly improving Sheila Osgood was 2^nd in 40:51 while Harriers Mary Ferraro  (41:23) and Kelly Joyce (42:04) chased her.   Rogina Modestow (44:40) was the first master and  Carol L’Esperance (48:33) was the first senior for the home club. 
        Despite the dry roads, the cold temperature kept anyone from breaking an age record. Snowstorm Classic generation gap?  Only four runners (two men and two women) under the age of 30 (and none under 24) competed.  However twenty-seven runners over the age of 50 ran and all finished, including four women.  Hey kids, it wasn’t that cold (28 degrees)!
