The Central Mass Striders, CMS, men’s masters team placed
4th overall at the 2017 USATF Club Cross Country Championships at
Masterson Station Park in Lexington, KY. The winds picked up during the morning
providing a wind chill on top of the sub-freezing temperatures that began the
day for the rolling courses set up for all races.
Chris Mahoney (Westford, MA), made his masters debut for
CMS with a 16th place overall finish with a time of 33:52. He was
followed by Greg Putnam (Stoneham, MA) and Derrick Jones (Henrietta, NY) both
breaking 35 minutes. Joshua Perks (Windham, NH) and Joe Shairs (Peabody, MA) followed,
separated by 7 seconds, running 35:22 and 35:29 respectively to give CMS a
combined 160 points, 10 points ahead of Club Northwest. David Principe (Johnston,
