| 10/12/2009 |
In the history of the race, they have never been beaten. The tradition continued on Sunday, October 11, 2009 as the B.A.A. Men's & Women's Open teams kept their winning streak in tact as they won their 9th consecutive team titles in the B.A.A. Half Marathon.
Led by Will Dobbie's 10h place finish, the B.A.A. men had all five scorers in the top sixteen. Dobbie was followed by Terry Shea, Paul Ryan, and Mike Fisher in 12th through 14th place. Josh Ferenc ran a PR to finish 16th and round out the scoring.
Wayne Levy, the inaugural winner of he B.A.A. Half Marathon, placed second overall in the Master's competition. While they did not defend their Master's title, Levy led a strong team of James Ellis, Paul Davies , Michael Libenson, and John Stuart to a second place finish in that division. Their combined time of 7:01:55 was less than 3 minutes behind the winning team. Jon Fortescue, currently third in the 2009 USATF New England Grand Prix Master's standings was forced to drop out with hamstring problems at the 3 mile mark.
The women placed two in the top ten to extend their winning streak. Kasie Enman was the top B.A.A. woman in 7th place, followed by Mariko Holbrook in 10th. Maria Varela sealed the victory with her 11th place finish and the women took the next three places for added insurance: Renee Knapp, Lara Johnson, and Beth Coughlin were 12th through 14th respectively.
And the overall results are impressive: The B.A.A. took 26 of the top 100 spots and 30 athletes finished under 1 hour and 30 minutes. Of the 3989 finishers, 90% of the B.A.A. Running Club participants finished in the top 10% of the field.
