New Balance Boston placed 2nd for both the men's and women's team rankings at the 2009 USATF Outdoor New England's Championships held on June 21 at MIT's track facility.
The race was held on a gray, misty day where winds from the Charles were a difficult challenge on the finish straight of the track.
Even still, hard efforts were laid down. Laura Kennedy ran a strong start in the 5km, fighting the conditions by the end. Cailtin Malloy ran a 2:17.08 in the women's 800m, with a possible infection of the "dreaded" H1N1 (swine) flu. Yvonne Green and Jen Hegarty competed in the 1500m.
On the men's side, the 800m race had Tim Kaijala, Philip Mainwaring and Chris McCann, finishing 2nd, 4th and 5th respectively. Roland Lavallee, Jeff Paterno, Ari Zamir and Tony Orth competed in the 1500m. The exciting race of the day was the men's 3k Steeplchase where Ryan Carrara came out of a long time steeple retirement to rabbit Justin Lutz. No injuries were incurred and Justin won the event.
Despite the weather, the team support was strong and much appreciated.
