The Central Mass Striders took on the USATF New England Road Race Grand Prix 5K Championship in downtown Providence, RI on Sunday morning under sunny skies. 

The Open team placed 4th out of 16 teams. CMS packed the top four open runners in order with Scott Mindel (19th), Scott Leslie (20th), Pat Fullerton (21st), and Adam Malek (22nd) were together into the finish - just a second in between each CMS singlet.
