CMS tackles Mount Wachusett

The Central Mass Striders men’s team scored first place within the USATF New England teams, having the most points among the age group categories at the Wachusett Mountain Road Race in Princeton, MA.

Open: 473.40 points

40+: 277.88 points

50+: 275.08 points

The race was taking part in two race series: USATF NewEngland Mountain Circuit (race number 3) as well as the kick off race within the USATF New England All Terrain Runner Series. Runners only needed to run to the top (approximately 3 miles) to score in either series. Runners could also run down the mountain as well to complete the 10K distance.

A warm day met the field of 340 plus runners. CMS runner, Scott Mindel led all runners up, capturing the 2018 Wachusett Mountain Road Race King of the Mountain. He maintained his 30 second lead at the top all the way down to also take the overall 10K. CMS placed 10 runners in the top 20 for the 3 mile and 6 out of the top 25 for the 10K.
