The crowd begins to congregate at the starting line for the 100m


First up are Mike Travers (L) and Terrence Haynes (R)


They ran a great race, side-by-side, the entire distance


The M50 heat was packed. In lane 2 is Tom Gillen, Lane 5 is Cochise McBride, Rob Porcaro in Lane 6,
Tucker Taft in Lane 7 and unseen is Charlie Kelley in Lane 8


Some smiles as the guys walk back after their 100m heat


I was unable to take any photos of my M55/M60 heat but ran back to the starting line to catch
the next heat. That's Spencer Parrish in Lane 5 and John Polevey in Lane 4





From (L-R), Bob Marchetti, Cochise McBride and Butch Blake relax under
the Mass Velocity canopy while waiting for the 200m heats to begin


Ladies first in the 200m with Hillen von Maltzahn on left in red,
Mary Roman in blue to the right of Hillen and on the rail is Gail Johns-Rees


Gail flies by the camera


In Cinema Scope we have the M50 heat in the 200m with, from left to right:
Tucker Taft, Rob Porcaro, James Morton, Cochise McBride, Tom Gillen and Terrence Haynes


I scratched in the 200m due to knee and quad aches and pains so I was able to shoot this 200m heat:
Red runners from left to right, Roger Pierce, Bob Marchetti, Tom Cunningham, Butch Blake


Red uniforms and blue spikes can only mean Butch and Roger


Once again Spencer and John are side-by-side, this time in the 200m




Meet Bob Matteson of Bennington, VT, a new member of Mass Velocity.
Now running M85 but about to turn 90!


Butch in a great-looking warm-up


Terrence


The 800m had a great heat with Rich Clark (#332) and Jeff Weatherhead (#132)


Jon Tetherly was running hard in the same heat


On the backstretch it was anyone's race


Rich had Jeff in his sights on the last turn . . .


. . .and out-kicked him for the victory



Here's Mary Harada starting the 400m . . .


. . . and finishing strong


Gail on the first turn of the 400m


Becky Connolly of MVS has the look of sheer determination



Gail had Hillen's number all day long, this time besting her in the 400m


In the 400m first turn: Tuck, Charlie, James & Terrence






James Morton (#389) had some great times today and was unbeatable



Charlie and Tuck give it their all




In the next 400m heat, in red from left, Roger, Warren, Tom and Butch


I guess not every shot is perfectly in focus. Note James cheering on his teammates


Once again it's a battle between Roger and Butch


Likewise between Warren and Tom


These guys make the 400m look easy but it's obviously NOT easy


Butch lends Roger a hand, err... a head!?


Sufficiently recovered


Abe Bernstein, (far left) from Long Island is a possible new MVTC member


Spencer sporting red, now that he's in Mass Velocity

Mary Roman (W70, CT) and hopefully soon to become a member of MVTC.
You might have noticed Mary's photo on the June cover of NMN,
shown breaking the W70 U.S. superweight record.
