2015 CT Association 10,000m Championship Sunday Nov 1, 10:00 a.m.
Peter’s Recreational Complex, Clinton, CT.

Overcast, 53 degrees
We appreciate our judges Debbie (Chief) and Shawn Frederick, who came from NY, Jean Tenan and Ron Daniel.
Thanks to our lap counters, John Palmer, Ed Vaitones, Barbra Gill-Vayo and Adam Raimondi, and to Geoff Bye for registration!
Thank you Bob Gemske for bringing the clock it helps feel official!

USATF-CT welcomed athletes from MA, NY and NH. Nice to see the young ladies, Lucy and Val continue on in the sport and it was very impressive to see Lauren (who came to do the 1 mile fun walk and was talked into going 6x farther) finish strong prevailing over Ginger who was dealing with an injury.
