A good day for GLRR in Lawrence tackling that brutal hill. Kara, rocking the GLRR singlet, won the women's race in 24:26. Festus was second in the male 30s in 25:15, and Cindy Meklenberg was second in the female 50s in 33:41. This was the unofficial first leg of the Wild Rover series, with the official first leg moving to April due to the Fizzard of '13. A fizzard is a blizzard that fizzles.

Lowell, MA -- The venue may have changed but the outcome was the same as Lowell’s Steve Gendron (16:14) and Chelmsford’s Kara Haas (18:01) finished first in the 2nd Annual Patrick Frye Memorial 5K in Lowell. Both runners finished first in last Sunday’s Hynes Road Race. Steve outpaced fellow Lowellian’s Tim Patterson and Jonathan Sheehan who finished 2nd and 3rd respectively. Kara who finished fourth overall was followed by Ciara Camire of Somersworth, NH and Julie Dragon of Marlboro, MA.
Today’s race was in honor of Patrick A. Frye, nicknamed ‘P Fritty’ lived just 20 years, 4 months and 7 days. He was born in Colombia, South America and raised in Lowell, Massachusetts. The race was held in his honor at the Mt. Peasant Country Club in the Highland section of Lowell.
