A few minutes after the leaders finished, the great crush of two-mile runners overwhelmed the timer, causing its breakdown and loss of times for the last half of the field.
Gary Anderson once again dominated the six-mile field. His time of 33:50 on the Longfellow course was seven seconds slower than his time for the flat six miles he ran the previous week in Oakland Mills. Second-place Craig Chasse started a minute late but still managed to climb nearly all the way up the field to finish in 36:25. With a time of 46:02, Debbie Kocay won the women's six-mile event by a margin of victory similar to Anderson's.
The Striders will presentawards for their Summer Series at 2 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 15, at Thunder Hill Elementary School.
On Sept. 8, the Striders square off against the Montgomery County Road Runners in the annual Brighton Dam Challenge Race. Interested Howard County runners should call Jim Carbary, 964-8375, for more information.
