Many GMAA'ers made the trek down to Boston again this year for a race on the classic cross country course in Franklin Park. Thw eather proved perfect with no wind, sunshine, and teperatures in the 40s. The GMAA scored well highlighted by a 3rd in the men's masters and 1st in the men's seniors.
Kelly Wilson and Jack Pilla ran races in the area on Saturday and came to cheer
their teammates on. They also did a great job photographing the event.

In the open races, the number to the right of runner's times are the runner's "score". The score doesn't always equal the finish place because runners who aren't on a full team do not count as well as runners who finish 8th or greater on their team.
