leading to April flowers, attendance at the 9th annual Evans Run 10K/5K in
Norwell on May 18 actually peaked beyond the 640 total finishers from last
year.
brothers (Evan being the race’s namesake) piling in 1-2 in the 5K. “That was
totally unexpected,” offered 23 year-old Ryan Henry, who ran 17:24 to precede
his 18 year-old brother, Colin, by 25 seconds. “I mean, I expected and Colin
expected that I’d come in ahead of him but I never thought I’d win and he never
thought he’d be second overall.”
all five runners following the winner were 20 or under. Not so the women’s race
where Nicole Mauro, 23, of Mashpee, led Jen Lankow, 36, of Cohasset, and Charla
Spellman, 37, of Pembroke, to the tape in 19:25.
The damp conditions cancelled the kids hayrides on the
Norwell High School grounds and halfway through the 10K and in the final mile
of the 5K, the heavens opened and torrents of rain pelted the macadamÛÓto the
point where you moved from the crest to the middle of the road and back again
trying to avoid the lake effect. The worst was over quickly, but not for
frontrunning Benjamin Ndaya of Chelmsford. Ndaya had the 10K race (and top
prize $) in the bag before a side stitch started unraveling his stride in the
final mile. Give credit to 23 year-old Ryan Gattoni of East Sandwich, who hung
tough on the scant hope of a misfortune on Ndaya’s part.
line first as both runners were clocked in 34:52 with Gattoni geting the nod.
Toweling off by his car, Ndaya was the picture of grace in defeat. “I got a
stitch and I kept trying to lean to the side to get rid of it. I couldn’t and I
just got passed at the finish, but hey, that’s OK, that’s why it’s called a
competition.”
from his fifth place time last year and copped third in 37:14. “For a guy that
had some cardiac problems in his early 50s I was very surprised to get third in
my mid 50s,” said Chasen, who held a 6-flat pace and runs more like a guy in
his 40s.
Julie Spolidoro, 28, of Marshfield, did enough to win against Rockland’s
Christina Seremetis, fashioning a 7-second margin of victory in 38:28.
Pocasset’s Paula Healey, 28, was a distant third in 44:29.
As a band played on, the post race crowd gathered under the
Big Top, intent on feasting upon burgers, dogs, chili, fruit, beverages and
various desserts. As usual the awards ceremony went off like a shot (not as
rapid fire as 2008 but still rapid), facilitating the post race party at
McGreals’s Tavern just a mile down the road.
