5.0 miles - Squire Road July 14, 2001 |
|
Former Pomperaug star Kevin Somok runs
Roxbury about once a year. That is the same thing as saying he wins
Roxbury about once a year. By the half mile point, only second place
finisher Chris Bacich could see him. By the mile, even he couldn't see the
red jersey with the big P on the front as it disappeared around the curves of
the hilly Squire Road course.
First place was sewn up early, but it was an exciting race for second place. Bacich had a solid lead on fellow New Milfordite Andy Morehouse, but Andy chipped away at that lead and caught him late in the race. Bacich looked dead until the finish line came into sight, when he came alive again and dumped poor Andy by a margin of just six seconds.
Kyle Gancher handily won the Women's race, though her 43 second margin wasn't as decisive as Kevin Somok's. It sure is easier to do those hills when you're not pushing the stroller, isn't it?
This week's photo is of last week's race, Al Mletzko and Carl Hunt sprinting towards the finish line. This week it wasn't so close, as Al clobbered Carl by two places and 44 seconds. There's always next week, Carl. But not the week after. That's the New Milford race.
The Roxbury Races are now listed on the Internet both on CoolRunning.com and on HiTekRacing.com.

a bonus picture at the bottom of the page. Nora Hulton checks her
watch. This course is so hilly, though, that you'd be a minute and a half
faster on a flat five miler, Nora!
