USATF 10 Mile championship

The 10 mile is less than 3 weeks away. Here is a bit of history.....


DH Jones 10m – 02-22-09 Amherst, MA. $10,850 total prize money. $25 entry fee.
Course record Bob Hodge 48:57. DH Jones was in the GP one other time (1999).

This will be the 16th time that the Grand Prix (1985-2009) has had a 10 mile as part of the series. CMS has won the team championship 11 times; BAA and GBTC have both won twice. CMS also holds eight of the top 10 fastest team times. The team record, held by CMS, is 4:13:21 set in 1992. That is an impressive average of 50:40 for five runners. CMS put six runners in the top 10 that year. Wayne Jacob finished in 10th place in 51:30 and failed to score for the team! The last time CMS took the title was in 1998 (note: The 10 mile was not part of the Grand Prix from 2000-2006). CMS runners have been the individual winner three times. Scott Bagley won in 1988 and 1991 running 49:55 and 49:36. Craig Fram (who ran for CMS for a few years in the mid-90’s) was the New England champion in 1996 running 49:57, he finished third overall but the other runners were not USATF New England athletes. Additionally Dave Dunham (CMS 1992-present) won while representing GLRR in 1991 (49:36). Dave has also won twice at DH Jones when it was not part of the GP (1992 & 2001) running 50:36 and 55:04 respectively.
