Dan Vassallo would finish 7th overall

Dan Vassallo led the charge for the CMS men’s open team with a 7^th place overall finish at the USATF New England 10 mile road race championship in Amherst, MA. The race committee for the 39^th Annual Jones Group Realtors announced a two hour delayed start to give racers ample time to deal with an expected snow fall across New England over the weekend. The weather for the 1:00 start time was cloudy, in the  mid 30’s, with a light drizzle. Racers did embark on light flurries off and on during the race. However, the footing was decent throughout the course. The CMS men’s open team placed 4th out of 17 teams. Meanwhile, the CMS Masters Team placed 2^nd overall out of 11 teams. They were led by Jason Porter who placed 39^th overall and was the 4^th overall master. He and Joe Shairs (46^th, 5^th master) were able to score down into the open team as the 4^th and 5^th scoring members.

CMS will be looking forward to the New Bedford Half Marathon on March 17^th which plays host to the 2^nd USATF New England Championship race in the series.
