Summer Sizzler #4 - 5K
May 10th, 2006

Still starting the race on time. Brian Goddu skillfully marked the course with flour arrows so that no harrier would get lost this week.

Overcast skies and a temperature of 54 degrees welcomed the 14 brave runners who showed up to run the tough 5K cross country course. Master harrier Elvin Torres (21:07) showed the field that he was the fastest and toughest by coming in first followed by senior harrier Rich Clark (21:18) close behind. EORC’s Mike Butler (21:57) broke up the harrier sweep by coming in third and out running harrier senior Al Cabot (24:38).

First female HTC’s Melany Westwell (25:11) was trailed by second place female harrier Karen LaForge (26:55). First veteran EORC’s Bob Massaro (26:40) was only off by 20 seconds to win the weekly predicted time. Harrier president Pete Stasz (30:18) showed SMAC’s Don Grant (30:34) who the king of the hill was this week by charging up the finish.

A special thank you to the volunteers of the week Brian Goddu, Colleen Cummings, Joe Fois and Bruce Kurtz.
