Congratulations to all GMAA finishers!
Times and places are courtesy of Bay State Racing Services and Cool Running. 23 GMAA runners headed down to New Bedford for the first USATF team race of the year. Race temperatures were in the upper 40s. We fielded teams in 6 age divisions and scored well across the board. Our women's senior team finished in the money with third place. The men's senior team finished with the highest percentage - 5th of 22 teams! The club will have a good foundation of team points to start off the year. It should also be noted that 8 GMAA members finished in the top 5 of their age groups, and 7 met the standards for national ranking.
