The Chestnut Hill Cross Country Classic bills itself as open
to runners of all ages and abilities. And that is exactly who
showed up.... a great assortment of veteran cross country runners,
newcomers to the distance, young runners, older runners, fast and
slow. In all, 74 runners competed in the event sponsored by
the Wanderers on September 16.
High school assistant coach Joel Alberts won the
three-mile race in 16:05 followed by local cross country legends Chuck
Shields and Bob Rimkis in 16:37 and
16:53 respectively. The Wanderers own Matt Palombaro finished
fourth in 17:04.
Leah Whipple was the top women’s finisher
in 21:39 followed by Joan Affleck in 22:12 and Alison
Myers in 22:54.
Jim Trainor also represented the Wanderers and
finished strong in 32:16.
Great jobs were also turned in by Lola and Melanie in
registration and organization, and as usual Paul Hines from
Chestnut Hill Academy for directing the event.
The 5th annual Chestnut Hill Classic was held under cloudy skies
but luckily the rain held off. Although not hot, the humid weather
made the runners work hard.
