Some BSC Athletes at Marathon Sports 5 Miler

The Marathon Sports 5-Mile Road Race, held last night, is a summer fixture and always attracts a good field (over 700 finishers this year). The race begins on a grass field at Weston High Schoool, heads out to the roads for 4 miles, features some cross-country terrain in the final mile, and then a track finish. Something for everyone!

Brookline rising senior David Wilson ran 25:24 to place third, win his age group by a minute and half (over Hopedale's Colin Oglivie) and serve notice that he will be touch to beat in the fall. David's dad James also ran, finishing 6th in his age group in 31:46.

Wellesley's Yuri Brown finished 14th overall in a fine time of 28:09. Not far behind was Needham's Kevin Potterton in 29:29.
