Week 5 of 12 - 10K
January 4th, 2014

John McCarthy and Carolyn Dekker freeze the competition

53 brave and hearty souls toed the line in what might go on record as the coldest Snowstorm Classic race in its 34 year history.  Temperatures soared from a record -15º degrees Fahrenheit during the overnight to plus 5º degrees
by 9 a.m., as recorded at Westover Air Force Base, Chicopee, MA.  The cold temps and slippery roads meant not much movement in this season's 
5k Best Times.

Host club Greater Springfield Harriers took top honors as the only full squad in this week's
team results

A change of guard amongst 
female point leaders as Mary Guertin of GSH takes over the top spot, while
Pete Kakos
of SMAC is gradually and purposely distance himself as the
male point leader, a lead he has held since week one.

Many, many thanks to all the volunteers on this really, really cold day!:  Neal Lamberton, Brian Goddu,  Lee Hastletine, Craig Balderstron, Peter Fratini, Beth Kelly, Pete Vangsness,  Donna Carroll, Julie Carroll, Jim Gurzenski, Doug and Mary Guertin, Brian McCarthy, and of course our ever present Race Director, Art Roberts.
