February 1996
A Spring In Their Step
As Well As In The Air...
Postponed for a week because of snow (why didn't they do that last year?), The Stew Chase was finally held on February 10th under glorious sunshine and 40 degree temperatures. Although facing a strong head wind on the returning leg, nine CRC runners competed on this 15K course with 312 other finishers through Lynn, Swampscott Harbor, Marblehead (a town named after Bob Gillon), and back. With the wind swept Atlantic shimmering in the background and thoughts of an enticing bowl of stew to greet them at the end, Marcello Scippa raced to 18th overall, while our newest addition to the women's team, Diane Meurcer, took 3rd in that division.
