2003 USATF NEW ENGLAND MOUNTAIN CIRCUIT
- FOUR DOWN, ONE UPPaul Low (CMS/Amherst MA) and Kelli Lusk (Manitou Spgs CO) earned spots on the 2003 Teva US Mountain Running Team by winning the men's & women's races at the USATF New England Mountain Running Championships. The 8.2 mile trail race featured 1600' of climb and descent over a 2 loop course that closely resembles the profile of the 2003 World Trophy course in Girdwood, AK.
Low took control on during the second loop and ran off with a margin of over a minute (50:05). Lusk (1:00:03) was challenge most of the way by Nikki Kimball (CMS) and had a 52 second margin at the finish; Kimball earned New England Champion honors. The race featured 9 former or current members of the Teva US Mountain Running Team including Paul Low (1st), Eric Morse (2nd), Dan Verrington (3rd), Dave Dunham (6th), Richard Bolt (8th), Kelli Lusk (1st F), Nikki Kimball (2nd F), Julie Bryan (4th F), Suzy West (5th F) and Ryan Pauling (DNF). Dan and Suzy were also the top masters finishers.
In the quest for the "Mountain Goat" award, 19 runners have finished all 4 races to date (including back to back races at Kearsarge and Pack Monadnock) and 28 runners have completed 3 of 4 races; it takes 4 of 5 to earn this year's award. 482 runners have competed in at least one race in the series. Also held on Saturday, June 7 was another qualifier for the 2003 Teva US Mountain Running Team; the "Spring Run-off" 10k mountain race in Vail, Colorado, with about 2000' of up and down, found Simon Guiterrez and Kari DiStefano as winners of their respective races as well as earning spots on the 2003 Teva US Mountain Running Team.
A week earlier, two races made for a rugged time on the weekend of May 31-June 1. CMS teammates Eric Morse and Barbara McManus took the Mt. Kearsarge Run on a near ideal Saturday as the black flies gave chase to the field, while Rod Viens (Granite St RT) and Suzy West (CSU) were first to the top in a wet and sometimes foggy Pack Monadnock 10 hosted by the Gate City Striders.
