Last weekend was the USATF Masters 5k Cross Country Championship Meet at Saratoga Springs, New York. Dirigo did not field a team this year, although we did send two runners. After two great performances, the Dirigo guys spent some time hob-knobbing with the Genesee Valley Harriers as they get ready for the 10k championship race in Ohio this November.

Pete Bottomley ran a strong 15:50 to place 2^nd in the 45-49 category, cutting 12 seconds off of last year’s time and placing 5^th overall with an age graded time of 14:17. Tom Ryan also put in a strong performance, placing second in the 50+ division with a time of 16:33 and placing 4^th overall with an age graded time of 14:15.
