| Wachusett Mountain 4.3 Miler |

CMS runners swept the first five places overall. Returning to the roads after a one-year plus absence due to injury, Dave Dunham continued his impressive comeback by edging Richard Bolt. This was Dave's third Wachusett Mountain win in as many tries. He had previously finished first in 1995 and 1996 (course record - 24:35).
Margo Webber, Karen McGahie and Jackie Shakar placed 1-2-3 in the women's competition. For Margo, who is the women's course record holder (30:20 - 1996), it was a fifth win in five tries - 1993, 1995, 1996, 1997 and 1998.
Bob Hodge, who was the overall winner in 1993, finished 7th overall and was the first master for the third consecutive year. Matt Rossetti topped the junior division.
