In the Mini Marathon, Kvam jumped quickly into a lead group with Peru's Mike Wynn and Jon Santor. Over the course of the 4 laps of the twisting 6K loop the trio split apart as Wynn skied to the win with Kvam sliding across in 2nd a couple minutes ahead of Santor. In a battle royale for 4th place it was HURT's Matt Torniainen who edged out Peru's Stan Hatch by 2 seconds. Perhaps this was foreshadowing for the end of the year throwdown at NYSSRA champs against two of NYSSRA's top contending clubs.
Other great results were had by:
Jill Kozoil: M2 first place
Kathy Schwenk: M4 first place
Dan Schwenk: M6 3rd place
Dave Burt:M6 6th place
Eric Hamilto: 1st place M8
A short drive away, at Crandall Park, Queensbury HS team and Bob Underwood hosted the annual JOQ/ESG/HS/MASTERS/MENS/WOMENS/OPEN/SCHOLASTIC/CITIZENSRACE/ANYONEWHOSKIS/ANDTHEIRMOM race which draws massive numbers from all around the state.
In the ESG/JOQ J2 race it was once again the HURT "trio of triumph" that flexed their muscle. In 2nd, 3rd and 4th place it was A.Huenck, Adam Luban and Brian Halligan who were just bested by Gavin Hess.
Even the Director himself jumped into to tangle in the J3 race and finished in 2nd.
The race of the day went to Will Frielinghaus who skied away with the fastest time of the day in the J1 race.
In the J1/OJ race Newly signed Becky Christoffel had a solid 6th place finish.
HURT masters showed up in numbers for this race and it was Chris Yarsevich who led the way in 2nd place followed by Tim Huneck, Ed Luban, Matti Torniainen, Rene Clark and Alec Davis finished in 4, 5, 11, 14, and 15th respectively.
Carol Fisher took the 3rd podium spot in the Women's race.
SUNDAY:
HURT skiers were back at Day to contest the Shenendehowa Classic race and it was HURT's Chloe Boutelle and Becky Christoffel who went 2 and 3 in the Scholastic Women's race.
The Scholastic Men's race was dominated by the devastating speed of the "threesome of thunder" and the guys shuffled spots from the day before and Brian Halligan, Austin Huneck, and Adam Luban went 1-3.
NEW ALBUM COMING SOON
The Director has another solid effort in his 8th place finish.
Jill Kozoil returned to battle the Saratoga Biathon course and finished 4th in the women's race a few spots ahead of the "QUEENS" effort. (way to go GINA!!)
In the Open/Masters Race it was Classic specialist Bob Underwood who skied to the win just edging a barrage of Peru finishers. Tim Huneck skied to a 7th place just ahead of Ed Luban in 9th. More HURT finishers included...Dave Burt in 9th, Matti T in 17th, Alec Davis in 18th, Rene Clark in 19th and Eric Hamilton in 22nd.
Great job by everyone who raced.
I have writers cramp.
Or the typing equivalent.
Ouch.
And my eyes hurt from peering through results.
Ouch.
See you in Glenville!
