Caddyshack Classic 5k trail race, MAGP race #5

On a beautiful, clear day at the base of Mount Monadnock, seventy six runners of varying ability took to the trails of the Shattuck Golf Course in Jaffrey, NH.  Following a 5K course that has served as the Conant cross country home course, racers were able to take in the splendor of spring in New Hampshire out of the scenic back nine.

One person not slowing for the scenery was Mascenic’s Landen Vaillancourt, who scorched a course record of 17 minutes, 1 second a day after participating in the New England championships with his 4x800 meter relay teammates.  Monadnock’s Tyler Hebert and Monadnock alum Dawson Adams rounded out the top three. In the women’s race, Monandock’s Sadie Lorenz would finish first, in 24 minutes, 41 seconds. Followed by Kristen Seitz and Gretchen Post. The race has a team component as well, with the Monadnock A team winning for the boys and Mascenic winning for the girls, with Monadnock winning the mixed relay as well.

Mike Smith

Co president Mike Smith has been involved with running since he took up cross country in middle school.  While never one of the top runners across the state, he did come away with a 16:35 xc PR before he stepped away from competing in his youth.  Shortly into adulthood Smith came back to the sport for good, both as a means for fitness and simply to keep active and resolve some unfinished business.  Looking to see if there was something left for him in high school sports, he became the head coach for his alma mater, Mascenic, and coached there for twenty five years before hanging up the head coaching position this past year.  His teams racked up ten Division 3 team titles (8 boys, 2 girls) and qualified and competed at the New England championships twice.  Not bad for a school of 270 kids.  When not coaching, Smith is often found running, talking about running, or wandering around the woods and trails of New England.
