No one felt good running in the heat of the Ollie. No one ran their fastest. But most everyone ran their hardest. But hottest of all was the Greater Boston Women's team as they put all five scorers in the top ten! They won by over a minute beating the Merrimack Valley Striders and the Boston Athletic Association.

The women's team had such depth that the next five GBTC women would have formed a top scoring club. Avi Kramer led the men's team to fourth place behind the Central Mass Striders with whom they had been tied for first place.
Now both open team are in second place in the New England Grand Prix with two races remaining in the year's series.

Maybe Tomoaki Uchiki ran the hardest of all because he tripped over some metal during his cool down and wound up in the emergency room. He had to have stitches on his leg and broke one bone in each forearm. He said," My legs were OK except that I got a wound on my shin which was closed by two stiches. My arms were however broken somewhat. Both of my lower arms (I think the bone called fibula (sic)) and a bone close to my left thumb fractured. Fortunately, I did not have to receive any operation, and I was told that they will be healed in 4 to 6 weeks."
