2012 Grand Prix results and discussion

Bob Keating and Pat Godfrey are the winners of the 2012 New England Racewalking Grand Prix. Scores are based on a walker’s times in four events compared with international age-graded tables.

Men

Bob Keating 339.2
Brian Savilonis 305.10
Ed O’Rourke 296.78
Larry Epstein 292.05
Charlie Mansbach 280.64

Women
Pat Godfrey 284.14

many other walkers with 1, 2, or 3 races.

New England Walkers members have discussed changing the format for our Grand Prix, which in recent years has let walkers select their four best races from nearly a dozen possible events, most of them short. One possibility is to narrow the list of events, selecting perhaps four major races, each a different distance, and encouraging walkers to complete the full circuit.

All ideas are welcome. Please pass along your thoughts through this yahoo groups address or through our google groups discussion page.
