CMS kicked off the weekend with a team win at the Topsfield Cross Country Festival hosted by the
Greater Boston Track Club. Despite the windy conditions, the team walked away with the team cash prize, a baked pie, and shoes from
Puma. This was race number three in the USATF
New England Cross Country Grand Prix series. The series concludes with a 10K Championship at Franklin Park in November.

BayState Marathon in Lowell.

The conditions were near perfect, high 40’s and partly sunny with a breeze. CMS’s

Jim Johnson – 2:27:33.7, and
Scott Leslie – 2:28:13.4 placed 6th,7th, and 9th overall to capture the men’s open team title in a very competitive team race.

personal records for the marathon distance. The men’s masters team placed second overall with a scoring team of
George Adams – 2:37:20.3 (20th overall, 4th master),
Ken Tripp – 2:40:25.0 personal record (30th overall, 9th master), and
