Five Minute Barrier Broken at Wanderer Mile

Jeff Hayes shattered the previously unassailable five minute barrier in the mile run at the Chestnut Hill Academy Relays on April 5. Jeff was clocked in 4:58 beating an impressive field of seven runners in the second annual Wanderer one-mile race. Jeff also produced a winning father-daughter combination teaming up with daughter Cecilia, who finished in 6:14.

Fred Kenny ran second in a time of 5:24 followed by Tom Yunker and Chris Moore in times of 5:32 and 5:38 respectively. The Sultan of Stairs Michael Branca broke six minutes finishing in 5:58 followed by Cecilia Hayes. Rock Steady finished up where he left off last year... in last place in a time of 6:19.

Many thanks to Chestnut Hill Academy and coach Paul Hines for scheduling the event as part of the schoolboy relays.
