Bangers Blog: March 18, 2017
Just finished up a HUGE Grand Prix update! bit.ly/bangersraces17
We had our biggest group ever (42!) for a race that wasn't the Bangers 5K or the 26x1 relay. Very impressive for a feels-like-minus-10-degree day in March!
Congrats to:
Hanna Sobon, for her first ever 5K and the Bangers' first Personal Longest race of the year! Fall marathon, Hanna? ;)
Personal 5K records for Jaclyn Crain, Jamie Henry, Sarah Hammond, Ruby E Perlmutter, and Mark Hagopian. That's some cold PR'ing!
2nd place 3-person team award earned by Bobby McDonoughh (2nd place overall), Kerry Phelan, and Mark Hagopian. Feel free to drink from the victory cup at the Drop any time!
Grand Prix '17 debuts for defending champ Cassie Yeancades, Wendy Recine, Jessica O'Neil, Layla Ferland, Meaghan Reddy, Kate Sylvia, Alexis Hanley, Kate Ho, Kara Huselton, Laura Huselton, Kara Mazzotta, Jen Mitton, Jamie Henry, Sarah Hammond, Ruby Perlmutter, Hanna Sobon, Kelly Muskopf, Megan Schliep, Aaron McCall, Kyle Brown, Justin Voldman, Jared Bartlett, Shane McGann, Ryan Wexler, Andrew Malkin, Bryan Goldmsith, and Dean Moreton. See you all at another race soon!
