Greater Boston Men to Defend Grand Prix Lead

The Greater Boston Track Club men's road race team is now in first place in the New England Grand Prix series after two in the seven race series. The GBTC team is three points ahead of the Central Mass Striders and the newly conglomerated GCS-Triad team going into May 6th's 5 km in Westford, MA. The GBTC team has the addition of two marathoners, Jeremy Borling and Kibrom Temelso who did not run on last week's team at Groton. The men placed 7th last year in the GP 5 km but now have a much stronger team.

The GBTC open women's team is running in third place in the GP, one point behind the Whirlaway Racing Team and five points behind the Merrimak Valley Striders. This 5 km team will be bolstered by the return of marathoner Megha Doshi and Audrey Giesler. The women's team placed second last year in the GP 5km.

The fourth Grand Prix race is May 19th at 12 km in Bedford, NH before a long gap until the next GP race in September.
