LYNN ADAMS MEMORIAL 5K ROAD RACE AND ONE MILE FAMILY WALK/RUN  (race entry attached. you can also enter at  active.com )

The fifth annual Lynn Adams Memorial 5K (3.1 miles) Road Race and 1 Mile Walk will take place on Saturday, June 29.  Lynn Adams died of cancer several years ago. She was a tireless volunteer for many school and town programs, including our Summer Youth Track Program. The race raises money for scholarships for Somers students in Lynn’s name and also has a goal of raising money for cancer research. The event runs in conjunction with the Town of Somers Independence Day Celebration. This year the Town Celebration is later in the day.

The Somers Cross Country and Track and Field teams have provided 30 or so volunteers each year for the race. We provide volunteers to read times out at each mile mark and we have high school volunteers on the course to direct runners and walkers in the right direction.

Registration starts at 8:00 AM. The 5K Run starts at 9:00am and the One-mile family fun walk starts at 9:30 AM.  This year both events begin and finish at Primrose. In past years the races finished at Reis Park.
       
We need:  1.  Parents to drive timers and course directors to their positions.
2.  A lead vehicle (and driver) to lead the race.
3.   High students to stand out on the course directing runners and walkers in
      right direction.
4.   Adults to be timers on the course. We will drive you to your spot.

This year we are also running the finish line with Tim Fulton doing the scoring, as last year.

We have had approximately 30-40 volunteers each year and we are hoping for the same this year. Please e-mail me and let me know if you can help.

We will meet at 8:00 AM that morning and will have a meeting at 8:15 AM to explain further what to do. 

Thank you in advance for helping!! Our program has been very active in town and community events (the Summer Youth Track Program, The Relay for Life) and we feel that this is very important!


We also want people to race in the event.  Please race or volunteer to help.  We would like to have 25 or more runners/walkers (including parents)  and at least 30 volunteers for the race. 





Hi All,

Good results at the Westchester County Varsity and JV Meets.  With a younger team, we knew we may not place very high this year. Adding to the difficulty is moving up to Class A (by 12 students). We would have been very competitive in the Class B County scoring.
We are very pleased with our results and we are very proud of the team!!. We had many personal bests in both meets. 
RESULTS WILL BE E-MAILED AND POSTED BYTUESDAY
HIGHLIGHTS in the Varsity Meet:
Alex Mattos - 5th place overall (Medal) in the pentathalon with a personal best
                      score of  2803 points. 3 personal bests in the event!!
Josh Prywes - 6th place overall (Medal) in the javelin throw with a distance of
                       131'9"
Brett Rozell -  5th Place overall (Medal) in the hammer throw with a distance of
                       112'4".
                       (Brett had fouls of over 126 feet. Big throws are on the way!!)
4 x 800 Meter Relay - 6th Place overall (Medals) - time of 8:44.7
                       Matt Maliniak (2:12.8), Joe Larocca (2:11.7),
                       Jesse Rinaldi (2:12.1), Justin Zorn (2:08.2)
PERSONAL BESTS:  
                        Mike Polvere - 3200 meter run - 10:06.4 - 7th place overall
                        Brett Rozell - shot put - 40'11"

WE ARE VERY PROUD OF THE TEAM. WE HAVE BEEN DISCUSSING THIS ALL YEAR - WE ARE WORKING FOR AND ARE EXPECTING A BIG YEAR NEXT YEAR, AS WE ARE BRINGING BACK A VERY GOOD TEAM!!
