Mount Washington - CMS Top Times - Sub 1:10

As the Mount Washington Road Race Lottery opens (March 1-15) on one week, I put together an interesting list of All Time CMS times under 1:10.  A CMS member has broken 1:10 every year since 1991.

Note: This does not reflect CMS members that ran sub 1:10 times as members of other clubs of course (like Peterson, Dunham, Hodge with GLRR, Blake with BAA, etc.).  It is only sub 1:10 times as members of CMS.  This also doesn't include any times from 2002, as the race was only to half-way.

Stats:
- 1:10 has been broken 84 times by a CMS runner
- 21 CMS Men have broken 1:10
- 13 CMS men have done it more than once
- Most: Morse has done it 15 times, Dunham 13 (with CMS)
- Youngest:  Tilton (22)
- Oldest:  Dunham (45)
- Best Place: 1st (Dunham, Fram)
- Worst Place:  31st (Dunham)
- Wins:  2 (Dunham, Fram)

A good team effort at Topsfield XC on Sunday and the elusive Eric Morse (pictured in action at Mt. Marcy in September) back in action in TWO races this weekend... We could only find results for one (Stark Mountain) but the rumors have been confirmed that he also raced a 5k on Saturday.
