The 2008 USATF New England Grand Prix kicked-off with a pair of team titles for the B.A.A. at the New Bedford Half Marathon in New Bedford, MA on Sunday, March 16, 2008. The men notched their fourth consecutive victory at New Bedford while the women made it a three-peat. In addition to the team titles, Heidi Westerling an Olympic Trials qualifier in the Women's Marathon, captured her first New Bedford title in a remarkable time of 1:14:30. Westerling, who came through the 5-mile mark in 6th pace, was patient, moving up over the final miles to take home the title by almost 40 seconds. Westerling was just ahead of B.A.A. teammate and fellow Olympic Trials Marathon qualifier Kasie Enman. Enman, who won at New Bedford in 2007 and 2005, was third place overall and ran 1:15:15, a 40-second improvement over her 2007 performance. Brett Ely rounded out the team scoring for the women with her 1:20:02. Ely will join Enman and Westerling at the U.S. Olympic Team Trials in April.
On the men's side, Matt Ely led the B.A.A. to the team title his fifth place finish. Just behind Ely in 6th place was Terry Shea, who ran well in spite of the fact that he has been sick with a bad cold all week. Mark LaRosa, Timmothy Tapply, and Jared Markowitz rounded out the team scoring for the B.A.A. men, finishing 14th, 15th and 19th respectively.
The next race on the Grand Prix Schedule is the Medical Center 6k in Nashua, NH on Sunday, May 11th. In the meantime, look for the women's trio of Westerling, Enman, and Ely to toe the line with the finest U.S. women's marathoners at the U.S. Olympic Team Trials Women's Marathon on Sunday, April 20, 2008 in Boston.
