MTC handicap 10K race on December 6, 1980 at Gorham High School.
Brian Flanders
I remember running the MTC handicap 10K race on December 6, 1980 at Gorham High School. At the time I was seeded at 34:00. I ended up in a dead sprint at the finish with none other than Andy Palmer who was almost national class at that time. I think I was given a 4 minute lead on him and I finished the cold hilly race in 34:11 that day. I was just out of high school. Andy must have run 30:11 or faster that day. Two days later John Lennon died

FLETCHER WINS LOST VALLEY 15K RACE
Auburn’s Ralph Fletcher, runner-up last year, took the roses in last
Saturday’s tenth annual 15 kilometer road race, held over the hilly
West Auburn course. Fletcher’s time of 50:46, although improved
for the third straight year, still failed to beat the record of 49:51 set by
Ken Flanders in 1978. The women’s record, held by Joan Benoit,
also remained intact as Benoit did not compete this year. Pam
Fessenden of Bates College, led the female finishers in. 64:27.
Second overall was Tom Clarke of Exeter, N.H., who pressed Fletcher
hard until fading in the late going. Cool, breezy weather provided excellent
running conditions for the 54 starters, all of whom completed the course.
Serving as finish timers and judges were Carl Geiger, Peter Marczak, and
Joe Grube, with Don Stowell and Peter Brigham of the Athletic Attic split timers-
Organization of the event was directed by Donna Day of the
Auburn Parks and Recreation Department, co-sponsors of the race along
with the Androscoggin Running Club. Officer Turmene of the Auburn Police
Department provided traffic control, while the Greens, Parisiene, and Hooper families
of West Auburn manned water stations on the course.
