Summer Sizzler #18 - 8K

  Brendan Kane Cruises to Third Win

Maura Ferrarini Joins Hall of Fame

Mary Ryczek Lowers Age Record

With school just around the corner, two college students prepped for their upcoming cross country seasons with Summer Sizzler victories.

Susquehanna University sophomore Brendan Kane breezed to his second win this season, and third lifetime, with a leisurely 30:21 clocking over the 8K road course.  After a brief early challenge from Rafael Rogue, the East Longmeadow resident methodically increased his lead while circling Forest Park.  Rafael finished 2nd in 33:13 just outlasting a pair of Harriers, 1st master Brian McCarthy in 33:19 and 1st senior Seth Roberts in 33:29.

 Maura Ferrarini had to fend off previous winners Kate Woytowitz and Colleen Cummings to earn her first Summer Sizzler crown and thus join the Hall of Fame.  The Stonehill College Skyhawk flew over the eight thousand meters in 35:01 in preparation for her junior season on the cross country team.  The talented Springfield native and Cathedral grad is also a standout miler and high jumper for the Stonehill track team.  Kate took 2nd in 36:09 while Colleen earned a masters win for the Harriers with a 3rd place 36:49.

Longmeadow’s Mary Ryczek snipped two seconds off the record for 64 year old women, which she set just a month ago, with a 46:01 effort.  Harrier Kathy McCarthy repeated as the senior champ in 38:59 while teammate Carol L’Esperance made it thirteen veteran wins in a row with a 39:27 clocking.  Thirteen year old Paulina Modestow earned junior honors as the young Harrier ran 42:32. 

Despite the printed season schedule, there are actually three more Summer Sizzlers left in the 2010 season.  Next week the series returns to the famous Harrier 5K cross country course, then on August 25th the 8K road course, followed by the season finale on the cross country course on September 1st (the last Wednesday before Labor Day).
