Hot damn, it's damn hot! Some 1500 runners sweated their way through the streets of Newburyport this past Tuesday, at the 43rd Yankee Homecoming 10-miler.

Dan Verrington led CMS with a time of 54:08 -- good for third place overall, the master's prize, and a USATF age-group qualifier.

Danny Savukoski [see photo] also broke the one-hour mark and finished 21st.

The amazing sibs Andy McCarron and Jayna McCarron earned age-group honors. Derek Melven was third in the Men's 65-69 division.
