The First and the Most

Alan Bohdiewicz captured his first Summer Sizzler victory while Elizabeth Duquette won her thirty-fourth Sizzler, the most among women. Under threatening skies, a small but hearty band of runners braved the infamous Harrier cross country course. Seventeen year old Bohdiewicz moved into the lead early and steadily worked up and down the Forest Park hills to comfortably gain his inaugural crown over Joe Czupryna (21:10) and Jason Denbin (21:25). He joins a historic list of 101 other runners.

Tom Regnier (21:34) took masters honors over Mike Montemagni (22:05), while Paul Duval was the first senior in 24:55. Duquette raced over the five thousand meters in a quick 22:22 nearly match the age record she set a month ago. In gaining her fourth win this year she moves past fellow Harrier Dawn Roberts on the all time win board with 34 total victories to Dawn’s 33.
