Abdul-Wadud,
Cummings, Roberts and Blanchard take the Final 8K Honors!
Eighty five degree weather didn’t slow the 34 runners that showed up for
the final 8K race of this series. In the early going it
seemed like no one wanted to take this one out in the
heat. However after leaving the Park, things started to
heat up and fifteen year-old Asif Abdul-Wadud ran away to a men’s victory
in 30:16 while Colleen Cummings took women’s honors.
The temperature did little to stop Art Roberts, as he set
an impressive 31:07 age record surpassing that 57 age
record by some 20 seconds that was set by Roland Cormier.
Equally as impressive was the record set by 75 years young, Doug
Blanchard who competed the course in 40:18
Congratulations to all runners for running a great race!
