Springfield, MA, August 22, 2001

Abdul-Wadud,
Cummings, Roberts and Blanchard take the Final 8K
Honors!
Eighty five degree
weather didn't slow the 34 runners that showed up for the final 8K
race of this series. In the early going it seemed like no one
wanted to take this one out in the heat. However after leaving
the Park, things started to heat up and fifteen year-old Asif
Abdul-Wadud ran away to a men's victory in 30:16 while Colleen
Cummings took women's honors. The temperature did little
to stop Art Roberts, as he set an impressive 31:07 age record
surpassing that 57 age record by some 20 seconds that was set by
Roland Cormier. Equally as impressive was the record set by 75
years young, Doug Blanchard who competed the course in
40:18 Congratulations to all runners for running a
great
race!
