292 runners completed this 5 miler, with some interesting results. Gloucester HS has dominated Massachusetts high school distance events for the last several years, including 5 consecutive wins in the state XC championships. Former GHS star Corey Ricci-Munn ran a very healthy time to top the field. 3rd place went to current GHS star Josh Palazola. Note that former burner Keith Brantly came home 8th. John Boyle (Newburyport) 33rd, Donna LeBlanc (Gardner) 149th, and Loiuse Rossetti (292nd) represented CMS. Now the questino is, who is Todd Glen, the 16 year-older who placed 4th. Fast time for a high schooler.
