The Roxbury Mile
Pictures
Up top, we have last years Mid-Autumn Classic champions, Jeff Sheldon and Pam Quist standing in front of the rocks. We gave them a choice, a background of rocks and the playground or the outhouses, and they picked the rocks. Good taste, both of them.
Then the foggy starting line at a race in August. Down the side, we have David Mariani, smiling as he sees the finish line, then Mandy Deming, the one who works the stopwatch and gets us accurate times every week. Below that, Scott Benjamin, who ran the hill hard and then still had half a mile to the finish line.
Farther down, Harry Ong (Dudley is around somewhere) beats Cindy Scannell by a couple of seconds. The last one there is a photo by Charlie Euston of a pack in the 7.3 mile race. You can see Ross Levy's legs in the back, and the corner of Brian Gildea's head behind Jeff Tindell.

Current points standings
Week 15
You miss, you plummet. This week, Points Leader Chuck Rocca missed. But he didn't plummet, as both of his nearest rivals, Ed Sandifer and Jeff Sheldon, missed as well. Instead, they fell to 4th and 5th. It's still close for Rocca-Man, as bith Steve Haas and Mike Abraham lurk less than ten points back.
19 rookies join the points this week for the popular Roxbury Mile.
In the table below, runners who have not missed a race yet this year are marked with a *. Rookies, those running their first Roxbury race of the season, are marked with an "R", and people reaching 100-point milestones are marked with a C. People whose ages were different this week than they were in our data base are marked with a B. If everything in the data base works perfectly, this means they had a birthday recently, but we know the data base isn't perfect.
