Women Still Tops in Grand Prix: Stowe, VT
Marybeth Baxter led the GBTC women's team. photo by GreaterSnapMarybeth Baxter in her first race in a GBTC uniform lead the team to third place in the USATF Grand Prix Stowe, VT 8 miler to keep the team at the top of the 2010 GP series. Baxter placed 4th among all the women. Another new member, Laura Johnson, placed third for the team. Jen Lee, hot off the 10,000m and relays at USATF Club Nationals in San Francisco last weekend could not resist the race and placed 4th for the team. Alyssa Brigham, enjoying a weekend with her GBTC teammates, placed 5th. Kyle Linn MacQueen took second for the team but only after giving the old coach fits by running off the pace of the team leaders and looking very tired at five miles. Looks may be deceiving as she zoomed through the last three miles to move up to 2nd. In a tightly fought race, the top three teams were separated by a mere 43 seconds. In the men's race, team leader of the day, Dan T. Smith, looked terrific as he took 6th overall. Ionnis Papadopoulos, running his last race in America (for a while) before returning to Greece, ran second. Matt Haringa hit a bad patch after 5 miles and lost precious time as did David Bedoya to his allergy/asthma problem. Max Hock fortunately stepped up for fourth for the team. The team lost a position in the GP standings and is now tied with Whirlaway for third with the Boston Athletic Association leading and Central Mass Striders in second.
This was the largest team GBTC has ever taken to the Stowe race, with 23 runners representing the team.

GBTC places 2nd team at Mt. Washington

For the first time in recent memory, GBTC fielded a team at the Mt. Washington Road Race. Conditions were on the warm side at the base, and didn't seem to cool off much until the 5000 foot mark. A strategy of "go out slow and then back off" seemed like the best to follow, but proved frustratingly difficult to master. Matt Harringa ran perhaps the smartest race for the club, moving from 7th team place at the mid point to eventually challenge Andrew Wommack for 1st team position. Apparently a late surge by Andrew enabled him to get his chipped foot across the line ahead of Matt's - both were given the same time. Further back in the pack, GBTC president Bruce Davie swapped places with Ryan Aschbrenner a few times as both went past the fast-starting Ted Breen, while Tomoaki Uchiki, having dropped Bruce and Ted 2 weeks earlier on the final hill at Pack Monadnock, left his charge just a little late this time, moving up to be the 5th team scorer. Lifting more mass up the mountain than any other team member, Tim Stickney was rewarded as first Clydesdale runner. On the ladies' side, Tara Wommack placed a creditable 21st, in a race she described as "harder than the marathon". Few team members would argue with her, and the post-race meal was remarkably free of discussion of tackling the race next year. GBTC team results: 2.

Snyder Brings Drug Testing to U.S. Masters Track

As chairperson of USA Track & Field's master's division, Snyder now faces challenging questions of whether and how to afford anti-doping testing, as already implemented in a few countries in Europe.
