This week Mike Thornton decided not to give the rest of the runners the usual 2 minute lead before shooting out of the starting gate. Instead, Mike scampered over the rolling hills of the OHAC course to a personal best of 17:35, almost a minute ahead of the next closest runner. Way to go, Mike!

Matt Depari of Worcester came in second in a time of 18:27 and Dan Navaroli, not feeling all that well, was able to summon up the strength of a runner's soul to not only run the race but to take third place in an impressive time of 18:31.

Ever-so-proud new dad, Andres Salmeron of Westminster, came in fourth in a time of 18:39. Matt Firmani from Doherty High School in Worcester was the first junior in a time of 19:13, Marty Ellowitz was first master with a time of 19:21 and Charlie Salmond was first senior in a time of 19:40.

First female honors went to Cara Reardon of Northboro in a time of 20:36 and right behind her was first female master, Deb Willard-Parker in a time of 20:44. Pat Wojtas was first female senior in a time of 30:44 and Marilou Crohan was first veteran in a time of 43:49.
