There was a "hit" song back in the 60's by a
group of family
members named The Cowsills called "The Rain , The
Park, and Other
Things". Following that same line, this year's version of
the CHARLIE STAVROS MEMORIAL MISQUAMICUT "On the Beach"
3 MILE RUN
could have been labeled "The Rain, The Beach, And
Everything!"
There was plenty of rain, as well as a chilly wind. The
original
shoreline route toward landmark Watch Hill was covered by a bevy
of large stones and rocks washed in by the mighty Atlantic making
it necessary to run the race in the opposite direction and,
despite
all this, the race showcased its largest field in its 19 year
his-
tory with a total of 112 runners taking part! The numbers were
boosted thanks to the appearance of members of the Chariho HS
girls varsity soccer team and members of the Westerly HS boys
and girls cross country teams all getting in some unique
pre-season
workouts "on the beach"! "I think I've found
another good method of
training!" Quipped Clyde Britt, head coach of the Chariho
squad.
All in all it had to put a smile on the face of the class
runner
for whom the race is named as he looked down from the heavens!
Andrew McCann of Syracuse, NY capped a fine summer of
racing be-
fore heading out to run for "The Minutemen" of UMASS
with his
winning time of 16 minutes, 20 seconds.
Westerly High state champion Emily Doucette was the ladies
top
finisher with a time of 20:37.
This race marks the official close to the TOM
McCOY FAMILY FUN
RUN SERIES and is sponsored by the Pleasant View Inn of
Misquamicut
and the Westerly Track & Athletic Club.
