Yankee Homecoming Races

It was a great evening for running, a rare occurance at the Yankee Homecoming Races in Newburyport Tuesday evening. In all, 10 Sisu Project runners ran - 6 in the 10 mile and 4 in the 5K. In the 10 Miler, the men's team finished in fourth place. Matthew Germain (10th overall) led the charge with a course personal best of 54:54, followed by Andrew Gallant (64:11), John Rheaume (69:03), Steven Bartholomew (71:59), and Andrew McGlathery (82:53) who made his Sisu debut! Also, in only her second race in a Sisu jersey, Kacey Hill ran a strong race with a time of 86:49.

In the 5K, Larry Fowle and Nat Coughlin came in almost simultaneously with impressive times of 18:24 and 18:25 respectively. Laura Rudd won 2nd in her age group with a 20:59, and Caitlyn Clark paced sister Jane to a 21:38.

The Yankee Homecoming is traditionally a race with strong Sisu representation, and this edition of the race was no different. Congratulations to all the finishers.
