Recent Grand Prix Action

Great races all around for the Sisu Project in the Gate City as Ryan Miller (20:03, 28th overall), Bob Parks (21:14), John Rheaume (23:05), and Fawn Krumpelbeck (27:21) all performed well at the Medical Center 6K.



Last week, it was almost the same group running at the James Joyce Ramble 10K in Dedham, but with Matthew Germain running instead of John. Matt ran 33:24 despite having to retie his shoe. Ryan was close behind with a time of 34:00 even. Bob and Fawn ran solid times of 36:32 and 46:33 respectively.

It is great to see our Sisu Project runners making a presence at these races. Hope to see you at the next one!

Germain Victorious in Southboro

Matthew Germain easily won the NECC 5K for Autism, which also served as an excellent fundraiser for the New England Center for Children Autism School, which Jonathan Towle, who also ran, actively supports.

For those who were not aware, Jonathan's son Andrew, who is autistic, was featured nationally in a Yahoo article and a video. Andrew was recently denied being able to run by the province of Ontario because of a bizarre eligibility rule. Check it out here!
