New Bedford: GBTC to Send Powerful Teams

GBTC will send powerful teams to the 2007 USATF-NE Grand Prix season opener in New Bedford, MA on 3/18. Last year GBTC women placed 4th and men 7th, but both teams will bring much fitter and faster runners. Audrey Giesler who ran a 2:50 marathon in Chicago last year and sub-three hour marathoner Mega Doshi will join last year's women's team leader, Laura Hayden, who is hot off her win in the 30 kilometer on 3/4. All three can post times faster than the GBTC top runner of last year so the team will challenge last year's BAA women's team.
The GBTC men's team has five runners fast enough to match or exceed last year's team leader David Bedoya's 1:11. Jeremy Borling, Avi Kramer, Kibrom Temeslso, and Ryan Aschbrenner so they too have a good chance to outscore all New England teams except perhaps the powerful BAA.
