More Weekend Race Results

After finishing third at the Bay State league meet, Seb Putzeys finished third in the second annual Bill's 5K in Newton yesterday, running 16:43. Newton South alum and friend of NSRP Ben Leipzig finished ahead of Seb, taking second in 16:31. Needham assistant coach Chris Van Cott was sixth in 17:22.

And speaking of assistant coaches, Newton North assistant coach Shawn Wallace took the the streets of his hometown and blazed a 16:20 5K at the "Run for All Ages: race in Wakefield.

Also on Sunday, Franklin Park hosted the Mayor's Cup XC races. The men's championship race included many former Mass. HS stars, including Sean Quigley (3rd, 23:24!), Tristan Colangelo (7th), Jarrod Shoemaker (9th), Andrew Pitts (20th), and former Dedham star and friend of NSRP, Rex Radloff (39th in 25:38).

Mayor's Cup Women's results of note:

5 5/89 16:59 5:27 Delilah Dicrescenzo

This is the actual Delilah from the overplayed pop song "Hey There Delilah" by the Plain White T's - everybody knows this, but the comedy never ends. I kid you not, the song is about a runner. She's fast.

12 12/89 17:38 5:40 Erin Dromgoole

Erin was a super-dooper super star at Millbury H.S in the late 1990's winning multiple MA HS XC titles. She was an All-American at Dartmouth, represented the US in a Ekiden, and is arguably one of the best MA pro female runners when healthy.

18 17/89 18:01 5:47 Kathryn Masselam

If you want to go old skool Bay State (back in the proverbial day), Katie graduated Needham High in 1995 and was a rival of NNHS's Senta Burton in the mile. Talk about diverging paths in running . . .

31 F0139 18:25 5:55 Marian Bihrle

My teammate Marian is from Belmont and was the MA HS state champion in the mile I think in 2000 or so.

49 19:05 6:08 Catherine Regan

Catherine was the captain of the Needham track team in 1996 that broke the NNHS ten year undefeated dual meet run. She was part of no less than 5 school records at Cornell, but relishes the victory against Newton North like it was yesterday.

Cahill, Occean and myself ran JV. I ran slow, and Cahill almost beat me. That's a nightmare I don't need.

Any one know why Rex Radloff is not running for UMASS Lowell any more?
