Downtown Westfield 5K

Shore A.C. was well represented, if not in depth, then in quality, at last night’s Downtown Westfield 5K. First among finishers was Dave Hoch, who posted an 18:58. Next was Wayne Baker, in 23:13, whose relative youth made him the only Shore A.C. participant not to take a top 10 placing in his age group. Close behind was Ralph Garfield, whose 23:36 meant that for the first time since his recent 70th birthday, he didn’t win his age group. Sixty-nine year old Dick Hill ran a 24:01. Finally, Elliott Denman, walked the race in 39:25.
