Tom Davis Runs 25:20 for 5M at Marathon Sports 5M

NN (and NS) alum Tom Davis took down some pretty big names at the Marathon Sports 5M race on Thursday night, finishing third overall in an outstanding time of 25:20 for the rolling course. Davis overtook Patrick Moulton (who has a 2:15:35 marathon to his credit) with a little under a mile to go, but was himself overtaken by Jeff Hill, who opened a slight gap. They finished that way, taking 2nd and 3rd behind the BAA's Matt Ely.

Brookline's David Wilson won the 17-and-under age group and placed 9th overall with a time of 27:02.

Newton South alum Ben Leipzig finished 18th in 28:08.

Great race for Tom. You didn't do so bad yourself. Hope the NSRP is going strong.

Thanks - I think Tom is running really well right now, and is certainly capable of running much faster is he stays consistent and helathy.

NSRP has had very good turnouts the last few times. I've been impressed by how many of the Brookline and Newton South kids are running consistently and running well.
