David Johnson and Donna Kay-Ness heat up the streets

A couple of local stars descended onto Forest Park this week.  Ludlow High and UMass-Amherst grad David Johnson lead the Western Mass Distance Project to its second team title over host Greater Springfield Harriers by an average time of 37:10 to 43:35.  WMDP owned the top four spots as David and Jason Ayr controlled the race the entire way with Matt Weissinger and Ivan Cordero following close behind.

The performance of the week was delivered by local ironwoman and 50-year-strong Donna Kay-Ness.  Donna lead all females and was 6th overall in a sizzling 40:08, eclipsing nearly two minutes the previous age record of another top road ace Mary Ryczek (42:02).

There's been a changing of the guard during my two week absence, as Dan McNair takes the lead overall as the most consistent performer this season.  With four weeks reamining Dan's 93 point lead may prove enough to hold off Aston Demas in the male points standings.  Stephanie Yeomans sits atop the female point standings by a slightly larger spread - 5389 points to GSH'r Mary Guertin's 5116. Who will be on top at seasons end?  Stay tuned.


Many, many thanks to all the volunteers:  Neal Lamberton, Brian Goddu,  Lee Hastletine, Craig Balderstron, Paul Fratini, Pete Vangsness, Beth Kelly, Ed Carroll, Bill Carroll, Julie Carroll,  Jim Gurzenski, and of course Race Director, Art Roberts.
