GCS Soars At Lone Gull
Published Sep 30, 2009
The 2nd Annual Lone Gull 10k was held on Sept 20th and 25 GCS-Triad Racing Team members made the trip down to Cape Ann for the penultimate NEGP race of the year! As expected, our teams and individual team members ran well and placed high on the day. On the Men’s side, our Veterans team came in 2nd place. But as good as the men were, the day belonged to our awesome women! Our Women’s Open Team placed 3rd, our Women’s Masters Team came in 2nd and our Women’s Seniors Team took home the first place trophy! At the end of the day GCS is still sitting 2nd overall in Club Scoring (out of 28 teams) and a mere 3 points ahead of third place CMS in the 2009 Series with only the Bay State Marathon remaining.
This race was the sixth of seven 2009 New England Grand Prix Races and Rich Smith was again our fastest male runner. He finished in a time of 34:30 (5:34 pace) which was good enough for 60th place overall (out of 777) and first on the Men’s Open Team. Todd Callaghan was the next fastest GCS-Triad runner after Rich finishing in a time of 34:32 which was just enough to hold off Randy Macneill (35:32) & Michael Wright (37:45) for first place on the Men’s Masters Team. Rich Stockdale finished first on the Men’s Seniors Team with a time of 40:53 outpacing Peter Davenport (41:31) & Tom Kolb (43:43). And, Milt Schumacher led the way for the Mens Veterans Team again with a time of 42:14 which was good enough for first on the team just ahead of John Lewicke (44:53) & David Pember (45:45).
On the womens side, Cathy Merra’s winning streak continued with another awesome run here in Gloucester. Cathy completed the seaside out and back in a time of 38:46 which was good enough for 1st overall in her 50-59 age group and first on the Women's Seniors Team ahead of Pam Butler (47:18) and Andrea Pierce (49:27). Next behind Cathy was Karen Pattelena who finished first on the Women's Masters Team with a time of 41:08 ahead of Tammy Gaffey (42:14) & Michelle Poublon (44:58). For the Open Women, Allison Findon led the way with a 48:46 which was good enough for 1st on the Team just ahead of Liz Fay (51:34) and Jennifer Mack (1:06:36).
