Ken
Merrick won his 16th race of the season, and Cathy Kost won her second in just
two tries 
as
the 27th season of Roxbury Road Race Series moves closer to its
conclusion. Ken yet another battle with arch-rival Mike Abraham, but, as
usual, Abe came out second best, this time by just a dozen seconds. Ken
must have had a fairly easy time of it, as his time was exactly one minute
slower than his winning time from last week.
Meanwhile,
among the women, Nora Hulton caught Cathy Kost at the three mile mark, as they
turned in to the wind along Rt. 67, but the little hill up past the monument was
enough to shake her loose again, and Cathy cruised away to win by 22
seconds. Kost, a former soccer star for Western Connecticut State
University, was running only her second Roxbury race.
Votes For Rookie of the Year and Most Improved
Results from the vote for the awards will be announced at next week's Season Finale. There will be awards for the top three point scorers among both men and women, as well, as some other special awards.
This week vs last week
Twenty-two people ran this course both last week and this. Though 14
people were slower this week and only 8 people were faster, Dave DeBoy was more
than 15 minutes faster this week, so the average improvement was 42
seconds. Mo van Moffaert wins the consistency award this time, running two
seconds faster this week than last week. Ken Moffitt wins the Mr. Average
award, improving by the average, 42 seconds.
Complete statistics are below the race results at the bottom of the page.
Mark Losacco returns
During his two months in the Boston area, Mark Losacco watched himself plummet from fourth place in the Roxbury Road Race Points standings clear to eighth place. The pressure was too much on him, so he called off his move to Boston and came back to run Roxbury. It was too late, though, and he got pummeled by Mark Zerbe two weeks in a row and fell to ninth place, third in the "Mark's" division.
Speaking of Mark's, we haven't heard from Mark Chantry lately.
Pictures
Up top, we have Corinne Bellemare chasing Christina Clark down the hill past the Squires' barn. Below and to the right of that, we have the Fossil running with some of Mo van Moffaert's fourth graders earlier this month.
A little farther down, we have the girls in Mo van Moffaert's fourth grade gym class getting ready to run their mile. Farther down is the picture of the waterfall, maybe the best picture Web Guy ever took. Then way down at the bottom is a picture of the Fossil that Ron Karl took when he carried a camera during last week's race.
The Roxbury Races are now listed on the Internet both on RunningInTheUSA and on HiTekRacing.com
