Dan Vassallo paced the CMS Men’s Open team to a 45th place finish out of 76 teams. Dan placed 170th with a time of 33:51. Scott Mindel followed seconds later. Jack Delehanty picked off several runners in the last 2K to break 35 minutes. David Brooks running his first team National Championship finished under 36 minutes. Daniel (DJ) Raboin and Bryan Trinque both ran in the low 37’s on what was the muddiest course of the day having already seen 3 races.


The CMS men’s masters team combined forces of both masters and seniors. Patrick Rich led the way helping the team place 6th out of 32 masters teams. He placed 38th overall with his 35:40 clocking. Kevin Hankens would run 36:10, placing 62nd. Six places later, Steve Brightman came in at 36:25. Tim Van Orden dealt with a hard charging Arhur Besse down the final straight with both getting the same chip time of 37:03. Todd Callaghan would finish three seconds behind them. David Principe and Ben Nephew would cap it off for the masters team who placed 9thon this course in 2014. Martin Tighe would place 28th with a time of 32:02 in the 60+ 8K race which kicked off all races for the day.
