See you all next year! Keep on running, Chantal Kennedy :~)
An excerpt from Rich DiSalvo's "NH Running" Column:
The Union Leader, May 27th, 2001
"IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Along with the fine performances by overall winners David Hinga of Lowell, Mass., and Jessica Blake of North Attleboro, Mass., several Granite State runners set individual age groups records for the 12K distance at the Bedford Memorial 12K last Saturday.
For the women, 41 year-old Miae Jacobs established a new mark of 51:37 for her age, while Heidi McGaffigan of Milford (age 51, 57:28), Jane Levasque of Nashua (age 59, 1:01:07) and Ann Bunce (age 61, 1:23:36) all set records as well.
Sean Frederick of Amherst broke the existing 12K state record for 20 year old males with the time of 45:39, while Tom Doody lowered the mark for age 39 to 39:44.
Our Current 12K and 5K Race Record Holders:
