Snowstorm Classic
Week 11 of 12 - 5K
February 15th, 2014

Sam Fisher and Julie Carroll better the rest, snow and ice

Sam Fisher becomes the first male multiple winner this season outlasting Greater Springfield Harrier Bill Carroll while Bill's sister Julie Carroll was the top female overall. 

Its been just over a week and a year since super storm Nemo made SnowStorm Classic -Nemo 2.9.13 history when Steve O'Neil and Carolyn Dekker inconceivably trompped and plowed through 2 feet of snow for over 6 miles and in doing so preserving our claim-to-fame "The races have never been canceled throughout their history.  No matter how cold it is, regardless how much it may snow, if you get to the Skate House, you can run."

This year's storm-of-century Pax, while not leaving as much an indelible a mark as its predeccor Nemo, did none-the-less make it difficult for runners to traverse the 5k course as expeditiously as they may have hoped.  Despite agreeble tempatrures in the 30's, which may be the best we can do for a Februaury thaw, any all age group records were safe.  Only Rich Larsen (20:25 4th overall) of Sugarloaf Mountain AC came close to the 62 age record of 20:02 by fellow SMAC'r Bob Green.

In the male points standings a change of guard as Shenipsit Strider Clinton Morse overtakes GSH's own Dan McNair. Holding on strong to the top spot, Stephanie Yeoman's 45 point lead may be enough to hold off Greater Springfield Harrier Mary Guertin in the the female point standings.

Greater Springfield Harriers
take the team title as the only full five person squad.

Next weeks 10k is the final race of the season.  A post race party at Red Rose Pizza in downtown Springfield is an annual tradition. All are welcome.


Many, many thanks to all the volunteers:  Neal Lamberton, Brian Goddu,  Lee Hastletine, Craig Balderstron, Pete Vangsness, Beth Kelly, Ed Carroll, Jim Gurzenski, and of course Race Director, Art Roberts.
