The big news from the distance events on Thursday, April 26 was that Katy Masselam finished fifth (second open) in the combined college/Olympic Development 10,000 meters in 34:49.26. That’s a PR, a club track record and is second on the all time club 10k road/track list. That time means that Katy averaged an excellent 5:35 pace for 6.2 miles. In the 5000 meters Kate Irvin ran 17:11.41 for another PR. We do have proof that Aileen Conlon is actually human, since she didn’t set a new PR in the 5000, missing it by all of 1.5 seconds, but did break 17 minutes for the second time in three weeks, running 16:53.62 for seventh place.
