2015 Lynn Woods Relay

Recap by Mike Pelletier

This year, a record 13 teams from the North Shore Striders were entered in the Lynn Woods Relay.

In keeping with tradition, the most experienced NSS teams were the most successful. The NSS TRAIL SMASHERS, our team of Veteran Women finished 1^st again and earned the coveted Lynn Woods hooded sweatshirt. Running as the NSS TRAIL SMASHERS were LINDA DESJARDINS,  LINDA FITZPATRICK, DEB JACKSON, and BONNIE HALLINAN.

Also earning sweatshirts were the members of NOT YOUR AVERAGE GRANDDADS, the NSS Super Veteran Men’s team. Modeling their new sweatshirts at Prince House of Pizza were Joe Giannone, George Geis, Armand Claveau, and Mike Pelletier.

Another team repeating a great performance from a year ago was the Senior Women’s team DECADES OF DECADENCE, who for the second year in a row earned silver medals. Successively celebrating decades of decadence were  JEN O’NEIL,  DENISE YOUNG, MARIELLEN HAYWARD, and LAUREN HAMILTON.

At the other end of the age spectrum in the High School Girls Division was the NSS COUGAR-MAGICIANS team. Two outstanding high school girls and North Shore Striders VANESSA FREEDMAN  and  ALEXANDRA KAY led the team to silver medals.
