CMS finishes the USATF Grand Prix Series at the Baystate Marathon

The CMS men’s racing team competed in the last of the USATF New England Grand Prix Road Race series for 2017 with the Baystate Marathon in Lowell, MA. The cool 8:00AM start warmed up into the 70’s by the late morning. In the end, a Bronze and two Gold’s for the men’s team.

The open team placed 3rd out of 11 teams. Colin Carroll led the way running 9th overall with a time of 2:35:07. Scott Leslie, with his second marathon in a week, ran 2:36:33, 14th overall. Alan Bernier who also led the masters team, was the third CMS runner to cross the line, running a time of 2:38:49, good for 16th overall. He won his age group and was the first 40+ runner to cross the line. The masters team took first place out of six scoring teams. After Alan Bernier, David Principe Sr and Ed Sheldon worked together for most of the race running 2:44:49 and 2:45:41 respectively to wrap up the scoring for the masters team. While David and Ed scored down for the masters team, they along with Dave Dunham, 2:57:11 captured the team win out of five senior teams. All three placed 1, 2, and 4 in the 50+ age group.

Lastly, congrats to the following CMS men who completed Iron Runner status by completing all six of the USATF races in 2017. Per Dave Dunham (check out his blog), CMS had the 3rd most Ironrunners this year.

CMS dominates at the USATF NE Mountain series

Todd Callaghan took the overall victory at the final USATF NE Mountain series race at Bretton Woods this past weekend (and then went for a 20 mile warm-down!).  CMS swept the team titles at Bretton Woods and also the entire series.
 
CMS individuals took 2nd through 8th place in the overall series standings.  In the age groups CMS runners took first, third, and fifth in the 60+ (Bazanchuk, Miller, and Martin).  First, second, and third in the 50+ (Dunham, Sheldon, and Vandendries).  First, second, and third in the 40+ (Callaghan, Van Orden, and Brightman).
 
In all 302 different USATF members took part in the series.  149 earned “Goat” status by running in at least 5 of the 7 races.  Dave Dunham and Barbara McManus were among the six people who managed to run 8 of the 7 races (there was a bonus ascent race on Saturday that counted toward “Goat” status but not toward total finish if you ran the Sunday race).
