Mt.Kearsarge 05-29-04

Kearsarge was the second race in the USAT NE Mountain running circuit. Quite a few runners turned out to score points in the series, as others showed up to tune-up for Mt Washington. Five lucky (?) won an entry to the Washington race in the post race raffle.
Dry sunny conditions, along with a brisk wind, were the setting as more than 160 runners headed from downtown Warner to the 2900' summit of Kearsarge. Paul Low (Amherst MA - CMS/Polar) picked up where he left off last week with his victory at Wachusett. Paul was never challenge as he took a minute plus victory over his nearest competitor. His time is the 10th fastest run (and sixth fastest individual). Newcomers Joshua Ferenc (Keene NH) and Kevin Tilton (Conway NH - CMS/Polar) both broke into the top ten individuals with their 2nd and 3rd place finishes. Finishing only 15 seconds apart, Joshua now the 8th fastest individual and Kevin 9th fastest up the hill. USATF NE Mountain circuit co-coordinator Rich Bolt (CMS/Polar) finished 5th overall and noted, "it is great to see some younger guys coming to the circuit races" as places 2-4 were each 22 years old. Mark Pitts (Moose Milers) took the men's masters victory (8th overall) with the 7th fastest time.
On the women's side, Kelli Lusk (CMS/Polar) ran an incredible course record of 1:03:40, 50 seconds faster than US Mountain and 100K team member Nikki Kimball's 2002 winning time. Kelli ran away with the race beating Team Gloucester's Jenn Brooks-Lassen by over 7 minutes. Donna Smyth (CSU), fifth overall, won the 40+ competition with the 2nd fastest time for a master topped only by Suzy West's CR of 1:08:34 from last year. The field of master's was quite strong as Helen Bradler (MRM) and Cheryl Wallace took 2nd and 3rd making the top individuals list in 8th and 10th.
The men's 50+ competition featured a solid win by Rob Higley (WMAC), the 2nd fastest ever run in the 50's division behind only Kevin Woodward' phenomenal 58:54. Len Hall, who has 3 of the top 40+ times, took 2nd with the 5th fastest time, in his first season in the 50+ category. Bob Mulvaney (Moose Milers)and Richard Stockdale (Gate City) took 3rd and 4th with times that put them 7th and 8th on the best times list. Pam Hall took the ladies' 50+ competition with a stunning 1:15:42 Course Record, 4 minutes under the previous mark.
Eldon Burkinshaw (Gate City Striders) took the 60+ competition by 2 minutes over Bob Wright. The ladies 60+ went uncontested again, but the indomitable Barbara Robinson (owner of all of the top five 60+ times) won the 70+ division with a 1:34:10. Her time was the 5th fastest for a 60+!
The series continues at Northfield Mountain on Saturday, June 5.
