| 3/15/2009 |
The B.A.A. women extended their USATF New England Grand Prix Half Marathon winning streak by claiming their fourth consecutive title at the New Bedford Half Marathon in New Bedford, MA on Sunday, March 15, 2009. Led by Heidi Westerling's stellar performance, the B.A.A. women combined to win by over three minutes. Her time of 1:11:35 bested her winning time from last year by almost 3 minutes and earned her her second consecutive USATF New England Grand Prix Half Marathon title. Carly Graytock and Leslie Hocking ran 1:20:04 and 1:20:23 to help seal the victory.
Unlike last years more conservative race, Westerling went out fast and led from the gun. She passed through the mile at 5:21, hit 5 miles at 27:30, and bettered her 10-mile PR by almost 3 minutes while en route to the victory. Three weeks ago, Westerling won the Jones Realty Group 10-miler in Amherst, MA, claiming the USATF New England Grand Prix Championship for that distance as well.
The men's team was equally successful, claiming their fifth consecutive team title, with their fastest team time to date; All of the scorers finished in under 69 minutes. Matt Ely placed 4th overall, just ahead of Michael Chettle in fifth. Brendan Callahan, Ben Schmeckpeper and Mount Washington Champion, Eric Blake completed the team scoring for the B.A.A. men.
The next race on the Grand Prix Schedule is the Bedford Rotary 12k in Bedford, NH on Saturday, May 16, 2009.
