CMS Mt Washington Preview
Good luck to everyone running at Mt Washington!
CMS has 21 guys entered in the race this weekend with over 250 collective finishes. Colin Carroll is the only CMS runner who hasn’t raced up Mt Washington before. He should do fine having run a 1:10 & 2:33 half and full marathon respectively earlier this year.
Since 1992 the Open Team has won 20 times, most recently in 2013. Last year the club placed 2nd to Team Colorado. The scoring members of the open team are backed and should be better this year with Jim Johnson, Mike Quintal, Eric Narcisi, and Colin Carroll likely to bump some of the 2015 scorers.
The master’s squad holds the 40+ record of 5:53:06 (2009) and hold 8 of the top 10 team times. Last year’s team beat Team Gloucester by nearly 1 hour. All scoring members are back! Todd Callaghan placed 2nd in the 45-49 last year and looks to move up this year. He finished 6 minutes ahead of the next person in his age group and the winner (Simon Gutierrez) has now entered the 50-54 age group.
The senior team set the 50+ record last year running 6:17:33. All of the scoring members are back and we’ve added Jeff Hunt who would have scored for the team last year (he was at the time a member of GCS). The 2015 team beat Team Gloucester by 63 minutes. Current CMS seniors took the top 6 spots in the 50-54 last year.
