GLRR Fourth at Mill Cities Relay

By Matt Story

Twenty one teams from Greater Lowell participated in the Mill Cities Relay on December 6th.  A total of 214 teams from the 19 clubs of the Mill Cities Alliance participated.  Out of all these clubs GLRR finished a strong fourth.  According to co-organizer Jeff Maistrosky: "A very impressive showing, that overshot many expectations."
