Snowstorm Classic #1 - 5K
December 6, 2003

         That’s Why They’re Called Snowstorm Classics

     It was only appropriate that the 24th Snowstorm Classic season should begin with an old fashioned New England snowstorm but that didn’t deter 60 hardy runners from toeing the starting line for a 5K romp through picturesque Forest Park. The slippery conditions not only preventing any age records from being threatened, but also insured a close finish.  
     Carlos Rivera sledded in first in 19:23, closely followed by Harrier teammate Brian Walsh (19:28) who slid past Andrew Lutz (19:34). Doug Guertin was next with an impressive 19:57 to capture master honors while CMSer Frank Rucki skidded across the finish line in 20:33 to take the senior title. Carlos’ victory moves him past Celio Hernandez for sole possession of third spot in the Hall of Fame with 23 lifetime Snowstorm Classic victories.  
     Carolyn Webber outskated the women with a graceful 21:55 performance, earning solid tens from all the judges, while Kelly Heroux (22:46) and Mary Misiaszek (23:35) glided across the finish line with the silver and bronze medals respectively. Carolyn was also the first master, while Ellen Bellicchi took the senior crown in 30:28.  
     Harriers David Estabrook (21:37) and Meghan Lynch (24:32) enjoyed the snow while sliding to junior honors.
