May Race Report

The month of May supplied us with beautiful running weather. Our biggest turnout, as a club, was the Matty’s 5K Run on Memorial Day, May 26th.  Kaela O’Neil,  placed 1st female overall with a time of 19:02. A blistering 6:08 pace per mile. Great job Kaela!  In the age groups results, Keven O’Neil, Diane Senecal, Peter Barbera, Vinny Hey, and Mary Camire all placed 1st, while Tim Coffey took 2nd. From our 2nd Generation Team, Ryan Coffey ran a super fast time of  20:31 (6:37/M). Way to go Ryan! Check out the results below. These guys rocked it!
At the Cox Marathon Jeff Vuono was 2nd in his age group, running 3:07:53. This is less than a month after he ran 3:03 at the Boston Marathon. Wow, very impressive Jeff!!  Jeff also placed 2nd at the Narrow River 10K, 6 days later. Speaking of the Narrow River 10K, congratulations to Terri Martland for placing 1st in her age group. Great job Terri!
Patrice and Gene French ran the Wachusett Moutain 10K Race on May 24th, in preparation for Mt. Washington on June 21st. This should be good training for their run up the mountain. See more about this race here. Wachusett Mountain
Happy running,
