Summer Sizzler #7 - 5K
May 30th, 2007

TWO AGE RECORDS FALL

 It was a nice evening, a little on the warm side but who could of imagined that not one but two age records would fall tonight. The first age record to fall was the 62 year old male record held by Doug Blanchard (22:34). Our very own harrier and first veteran Art Roberts pushing all the way through the finish in all 2’s 22:22 to place his name on the 62 year age record. And not far behind Art was Harrier Roland Cormier who smashed the 67 year age record held by Doug Blanchard taking 1:19 off the record. Way to go guys!

 Tonight’s overall first place finisher harrier Joe Hegarty came flying through the finish in 18:49. Second place harrier Joe Fois (19:31) with four summer sizzler wins under his belt so far this year followed by 19 year old and first junior male Ryan Byrne (21:39). First female was harrier Meaghan Mathews (21:55) who is running super and makes it look too easy. First male master was Doug Cummings (22:57) and Doug was tonight’s predicted time winner, he was only off by 3 seconds. First female master was harrier Barbara Bosworth (26:03) who is always willing to help out, thanks Barbara. First male senior was harrier Steve O’Neil (24:01) who stopped to tie his shoe during the race. First female senior was harrier Elizabeth Goode (28:45), it was nice seeing Elizabeth at the Summer Sizzlers. First female junior was 15 year old harrier Megan Randall (26:53) who took almost two minutes off her predicted time.

 Special recognition goes out to harrier Ed Carroll (25:53) who just completed and set his 3rd PR this spring completing his 3rd marathon in the past month. And he was competing in tonight’s race only 3 days after running the Vermont Cities marathon.

And a round of applause goes out to harrier Terry Gilsinger (39:44) who finished over 5 minutes ahead of her predicted time of 45:00. It was Terry’s first attempt at the tough 5K course and she pushed it right to the end.

Great job and keep up the good work Ed and Terry!!!

 A special thank you to Meghan Lynch, Ed & Julie Carroll, Colleen Cummings and Bruce Kurtz for helping out and keeping things running smooth.
