GLRR Newsletter: Not Your Average Jones

Since your truly couldn't be there this year, here is a write-up on The Jones Group 10 Miler from the Birthday Girl Liane Pancoast, who dominated her new 5 year age group by over 4 minutes!

The Jones 10 Miler race was held on Feb 24 in Amherst, MA. This is the first race of the USATF-New England Grand Prix. The big story leading up to the race was the snow storm that threatened to bring a foot of snow on Sunday. No problem for the 31 GLRR Angry Chickens who piled in to SUVs and carpooled out to Amherst for the Jones 10 miler. As Dave Penn said “Neither rain nor snow shall hold back the angry chickens!”.

Once we arrived in Amherst, we discovered that the weather there was better than in the Lowell area. No snow until we lined up for the start, of course. It continued to snow for about half of the race, but luckily it didn’t stick. The footing was no problem on the course, except for the 1 ½ mile stretch of dirt roads which were really muddy and slushy. The course is as hilly as we all remembered. The early hills were tough, but the hills at the end of the race were torture!

Everyone had a great race! James Sullivan was the first GLRR to cross the finish line coming in 30th overall in a blazing time of 56:22. Ally Maslowski was the first female GLRR finisher. Liane Pancoast came 1st in the 55-59 age group and Denny LeBlanc won the 70+ age group.

Our teams had a successful day with our Men’s Seniors team leading the group coming in 2nd out of 9th place. EJ Hrynowski, Jim Garcia, David Penn, Ken Goodin, and Tom Peters all scored for that team. The GLRR Men’s open team came in 8th place with James Sullivan, Cody Freihofer, Justin Patronick, Andrew Downey, and James Deluca all scoring for the team. The Men’s masters team finished in 5th place with Mike Girouard, E J Hrynowski, Jim Garcia, Fil Faria, and David Penn helping out the team. And our Men’s Veteran’s team came in 3rd with Tom Peters, Nick Kanaracus and Glenn Stewart scoring.

With only 5 GLRR women showing up at Jones, everyone was needed to help our women’s teams. Our women’s open team came in 10th with Ally Maslowski, Liane Pancoast and Marli Piccolo scoring for that team. We also managed a GLRR women’s masters team coming in a strong 5th place with Liane, Marli and Madeline Febo helping that team. Unfortunately, we needed one more senior woman, so we didn’t have a women’s senior team for this race.

Congratulations to everyone who completed the Jones 10 miler. On to New Bedford Half Marathon on St Patrick’s day for the 2nd race in the USATF-NE Grand Prix.

Ally, Liane, and the Birthday Goodies
