2010 Grand Prix report

Posted on November 18, 2010 by cmansbach

Bob Keating and Maryanne Daniel are the winners in the 2010 New England Racewalking Grand Prix. As best as I can determine, this is the 14th consecutive year that Bob has finished first in the men’s category. Points were calculated by measuring a walker’s race time against international age-graded tables. A walker’s four best scores for the season constituted his or her final total. More than 40 walkers from the region took part in at least one of our Grand Prix races this year. We hope for even greater participation with our expanded schedule of events for next year (listed below).
