The Central Mass Striders open and masters teams finished 3^rd overall in their respective team competition at the USATF New England 5K Road Race Championship in Hollis New Hampshire last Thursday. The point to point, downhill course drops 224 feet from start to finish resulting in some pretty fast times for everyone. The open team was led by Dan Vassallo with a 14:39. Finishing close behind was Scott Leslie, Chris Mahoney, Patrick Rich, and master Greg Putnam. Greg led the masters team (15:22) and was followed by Dave Dunham, Jason Porter, Arthur Besse, and Martin Tighe. The team will be looking forward to the next Grand Prix Race in Carver, MA on July 27.
