SUMMER SIZZLER OR FALL TIME CLASSIC
It was a cool evening only 62 degrees
at race time. The jackets were on the spectators, did summer
just pass us by? Of course not, it is New England and
anything can happen weather wise. Look at the Snowstorm
Classic from this past winter, it was warmer than this
evening. Would any of the long standing age records be
broken tonight? The 44 race participants lined up at the
starting line and at 6:36 they were off and running towards
the rose garden to get to the other side of Forest Park.
Male master harrier Paul Fratini
was going after the age 42 record and it was too close to
mention that he missed it by only 4 seconds. Paul ran a
fantastic first place time of 26:41. Harrier Joe Fois
who also has been running really well lately came in second
with a time of 28:12 with fellow harrier Joe Hegarty
who came in third with a time of 28:13. First male senior
harrier was Rich Clark with a time of 31:09 and
taking the number 5 spot and first female overall was
harrier Meaghan Mathews with a time of 31:26. Second
female was harrier Kelly Joyce (34:19) followed by
harrier Meghan Lynch (34.31). First female master was
harrier Barbara Bosworth (37:50). First male veteran
was EORC’s Dan Lynes (42:27). First junior male was
18 year old David Miller with a time of 36:21 and
first junior female was 17 year old Felicia Cordero
coming through the finish with a time of 44:10.
Tonight’s predicted time winner was
Jim Liebel who guessed his 39:30 time exactly.
A special thank you to Meghan
Lynch, Ed, Julie & Bill Carroll, Pete Stasz and Bruce
Kurtz for helping out with so many of this evening’s
tasks.
