Runners from Corporate Cup & High School Challenge Honored
The Boilermaker Road Race has announced the official winners of the Corporate Cup presented by Excellus BlueCross BlueShield and the School Challenge presented by GPO Federal Credit Union, all of which occurred within the 47th running of the races on July 14th.
“Each of the competitions represent races within the race,” said Boilermaker President Mark Donovan. “These team awards are an important part of the Boilermaker because they represent a group effort in the traditionally individualistic sport of road racing.”
For each of the competitions, the winning teams are decided by the average finish times of the group’s fastest five finishers.
The Corporate Cup awards were presented to runners in the 15K Road Race presented by Excellus BlueCross BlueShield. DFAS was the fastest overall team, with an average time of 1:02:32. The team won the Open Division and was led by Jordon Hoffman, who finished the race in 49:54.
Hoffman was the fastest individual male runner overall. At the same time, Lauren Philbrook led all female Corporate Cup runners with a time of 56:14. Philbrook’s Colgate University team finished fourth in the Coed-Large category.
Other winners in the coed competition include New Hartford Central School District in the small division, Utica University in the medium division, and Excellus BlueCross BlueShield in the large division.
Other winners include Gomez and Sullivan (Male-Small Division), Lockheed Martin Corporation (Male-Large Division), Indium Corporation (Female-Only), and SAAB Inc. (Masters).
The School Challenge Awards presented by GPO Federal Credit Union were presented to the fastest student teams among local school districts in both the 5K Road Race presented by Utica National and the 15K Road Race presented by Excellus BlueCross BlueShield. In the 5K race, Thomas R. Proctor won the girl’s competition with a 24:39 average and the boy’s crown with a 19:54 average finish time.
