Carlos and Betsy Win Finale New Britain Dog Pound Attacks

  Carlos Rivera and Betsy Duquette raced to victories in the final Summer Sizzler of the season while two eleven year old runners from the New Britain Dog Pound running club erased records which had stood for a decade.

Carlos cruised to his third win of the year with a comfortable 19:13 clocking, followed by near senior Seth Roberts in a very respectable 20:30 and junior Derek Axton who took third in 21:04.   Betsy claimed her fifth title of the year in 22:17, just two ticks of the clock off her own age record despite a nasty fall while crossing the stream. Colleen Cummings placed second in 23:40 closely followed by eleven year old Jordon Roby whose 23:51 established a new age record, erasing the 25:11 standard set by Meghan Callahan nine years ago. Jordan competes for the New Britain Dog Pound of Connecticut and wasn't the only NBDP runner to chew up the infamous Harrier course. Teammate Roy "RJ" Mitchell scampered over the Forest Park trails with NBDP coach Chris Zduniak in 21:14 to claim the record for eleven year old boys. The old mark of 21:49 was set by Brendan Harris ten years ago.

Not to be outdone by the youngsters, Doug Blanchard chopped nearly a minute and a half off the record for seventy five year old men which he set earlier this month. The Champ increased his speed to 26:29 from the previous 27:57.
