Lynn Woods Summer Running worked around the lightning and rain to squeeze in its fifth session of the season this week.
Once again, there were three races — a kids’ race, a shorter adult race and a long adult race.
The kids race was a 1.57-mile run and Lynn 13-year-old Hannah Desilets got the win, finishing in 14:10. Just behind her in second place went to Saugus’ Katana O’Keefe (13, 14:11) while Salem’s Brooke Medico (14, 14:41) came in third. Rounding out the kids race was 5-year-old Melrose native Caroline Skeirik (15:17), 8-year-old Vivian Diamico (Saugus, 24:15) and 14-year-old Lynner Cody Phothisane (24:25).
Next up was the 2.49-mile adult run along the goat path to Steel Tower. This was a tight one, but Winthrop’s Cormac Macphail came out on top with a time of 17:35. Coming in right behind in the top five were Marblehead’s Tyson Miller (17:41), Lynn’s Kevin Baker (17:51), Lynn’s James Wilson III (17:54) and Lynnfield’s Brian Hutter (17:58). Rounding out the top-10 finishers were Warren Macphail (Winthrop, 18:25), Garrett McNeill (Lynnfield, 18:28), Andrew Skeirik (Melrose, 19:23) and Sean Osbahr (Nahant, 19:39).
The last race of the session was a 6.17-mile run called the Dam Run. Lynn’s Taban Manyok set the pace with an impressive first-place time of 38:02. Next up was Winthrop’s Nikolas Beshere in second place (41:38) and regular Lynn Woods competitor Nakri Dao (Lynn, 42:31) in third. The rest of the top-10 finishers were Erich O’Neil (Beverly, 46:21), Jessica Snyder (Woburn, 47:12), Eric Bowden (Lynn 47:14), Amy Damon (Lynn, 47:28), Jeff Hixon (Boxford, 47:39), Steve Dickenson (Nahant, 47:52) and Nathan Hammerschmit (Lynn, 50:02).
