Clear roads and sunny skies belied the cold temperatures as the 20^th Snowstorm Classic season marches to its conclusion. Only one race now remains on each of the two Classic courses.

        Steve O’Neil picked on the little kids to win his second  consecutive Snowstorm Classic, this time on the 5K course. The veteran Central Mass Strider clocked a respectable 17:56 to outdistance Mike Gauvin (2^nd in 18:08) and Erich Fiedler (3^rd in 18:43), two Harriers whose combined ages fall well short of Mr. O’Neil’s total birthdays.

        Dawn Roberts sped to her third consecutive women’s title, and fifth this season, in a quick 21:09. Betty Quinn took second in 23:05 while Deb Bercovici held third in 23:41.

        Art Roberts (19:49) and Jim Halton (20:20) took one-two in the senior division then accepted their awards for completing all the USATF-New England championship road races last year, attractive New Balance jackets with the logos of each of the seven races imprinted on the back. Art and Jim were mainstays of the Harrier senior men’s team in 1999, which placed third in the 1999 New England Grand Prix and third at the USATF National 10K Cross Country Championships in Long Beach, California on December 5^th. The senior team looks to have another banner year in 2000.
