Carlisle, MA -
CMS finished 4th overall out of 7 teams at the Thomas Chamberas 6K XC race this morning. This was race number one in the Cross Country Grand Prix. It takes five runners with a USATF membership to score for a team. CMS was fortunate to have five men not only show up at the starting line, but finish the race. Dan Vassallo blazed to a 5th place overall finish with a time of 18:32 over the trails of Great Brook Farm State Park in Carlisle, MA. Michael Quintal finished 15th and James Pawlicki was 29th overall. Master runner Arthur Besse finished 38th and was 4th in the master division. Dan Verrtington was 52nd overall and 2nd in the Senior (50+) age group. The team should be at each of the races that compile the Grand Prix Series. The 2013 XC Grand Prix schedule is below. All CMS members are welcome. You will need a USATF membership to score.
