The Nahant 30K played host to race #6 in the USATF New England Road Race Championships under a foggy start. 3 runners score for distances of 30K and longer (the other historically – the marathon). Once the fog cleared, Central Mass Strider, Dan Vassallo of Peabody crushed his previous course record while taking the overall win with a time of 1:40:39. He was followed Patrick Rich (4^th overall) and Scott Leslie (6^th overall) to wrap up the scoring for the CMS open team. The team has won their second consecutive New England Grand Prix Championship in three weeks. CMS edged out Team Run and GBTC.

The CMS masters team was led by Jason Porter of Bedford NH. He was the top master (40+) of the day. Joe Shairs and Martin Tighe rounded out scoring for the masters as they finished together. Martin was the top Senior (50+) of the day as well. The masters team placed 2^nd behind the BAA and ahead of Whirlaway.

All ages for CMS at XC Grand Prix race number two

The CMS men’s racing team had a diverse age group on the starting line, an open runner (-40) in Tim Mahoney, new CMS master (40+) Ethan Nedeau, and senior (50+) Dan Verrington.  They ran through the 8K cross country course in Westfield with authority. The team did not factor into the scoring as five are needed to finish. The team will hope to change that for the next USATF New England XC Grand Prix event in Wayland, MA on October 13.
