This course has a hill so harsh that most of the top runners take about eight minutes to cover the mile it rests in. That alone is enough to keep most people not on psychotropic medications away.
Kevin McCusker lead CMS'ers with a twelfth place finish. Kevin was also second in the Men's masters category. Steve O'Neil followed Kevin as the second masters finisher. Sidney Letendre and Anne Ryan took 1-2 in the women's masters, while Anne Ryczek took first Senior woman. Marjorie Rosiello took second veteran (70+).
The CMS Women's Masters team of Letendre, Ryan, Ryczek , Cheryl Herring and Rosiello took first place, while almost the same team placed third in the Women's Open division.
The Men's Masters team of McCusker, O'Neil, Jim Gonyea, John Armstrong, Ricky Herring, John Aukstikalnis, and Jim DeZutter placed fourth in both the Open and Masters categories
