Carlos Rivera Breezes in Return; Kelly Heroux Wins Her Fourth

            During the 25 year history of the Summer Sizzlers Carlos Rivera has won more races then anyone else. In his first official start this season he showed why. Just a few days past his 30th birthday the well known Harrier won his 46th Summer Sizzler with a convincing wire to wire 27:25, a full three minutes ahead of eighteen year old Mike Bagge (30:25). Third place finisher Rich Clark (30:55) won both the master and senior divisions over GSH teammate Bill Martin (31:59). So far this season seven different runners have won the seven races.
            Not so for the women as Harriers Kelly Heroux and Elizabeth Duquette have evenly shared first place honors this year with three wins apiece. True to form they finished one, two, with Kelly gaining her fourth win in a comfortable 32:25. Elizabeth earned the silver medal and the master's title by improving to 34:44 on the year while Kim Buescher took third in 35:36.
            Overcast skies and cool temperatures were a welcome relief from the early season summer heat wave.
