CMS open and masters place 1st in Narragansett, RI

The Central Mass Striders took two first place team finishes at the Bobby Doyle Summer Classic 5 mile road race in Narragansett, RI. The open and masters teams were led by Josh Perks who ran a time of 28:40 on the rolling seaside course that differed from the 2015 and 2016 USATF New England Championship course. The course reverted back to a prior design that some participants felt was quicker. A flurry of CMS singlets trailed Josh. Robert Jackman crossed the line six seconds behind. Joe Shairs and David Principe followed five and six seconds later. Kevin Gorman scored as the 5^th man 8 seconds later running 29 minutes flat. The top five open men finished within 20 seconds of each other. Nakri Dao ran a personal best with a time of 31 minutes. Four men secured age group placings: Josh placing 2^nd in the 40-49, Joe Shairs placed 3^rd in the 40-49, David Principe 1^st in the 50-59, and Martin Tighe 3^rd in the 50-59.
