Spring Open BIG 10 km on Sat 3/24/07

GBTC's Emily Raymond heads the performance list of 20 women for the Northeastern University Spring Open track meet's 10 km on Saturday March 24 in Dedham, MA. Seven more GBTC women will join her. Her seed time is 35:00 and her personal best is 35:01. She is in the best marathon shape of her life as she prepares for an attempt at an Olympic trials qualifying at Boston. GBTC's Laura Hayden will be chasing her and pacing teammate Sloan Siegrist who has represented Guam in the Athens Olympics in the 1500. Siegrist will try to break the Guam national record of 37:01 and her own personal best of 37:17 set this race last year.

The men's race looks to be astoundingly exciting with the top eleven of thirty men submitting essentially the same seed time! Both races will be run concurrently so will be quite a sight to see with 50 runners on the track. GBTC's Ted Breen placed second in this race last year so has to be considered the favorite.
