App Gap Challenge Results 2017

Justin Beckwith · July 23, 2017 · Leave a Comment

           Overall Winners 2017 App Gap Challenge                      Kamran Husain and Alexandra Lawson

A spectacular community came out for the 2017 App Gap Challenge to watch fifty-six competitors kick, glide and skate up the east side of Appalachian Gap.  Cool weather and a fantastic volunteer crew made an enjoyable experience for all — not to mention the awesome food prepared by the staff of Mad River Glen!

The performance of the day went to Kamran Husain (SMS/Dartmouth) who broke David Sinclair’s historical record from 2010 by six seconds with a time of 30:28 and won the Open Men.  Lia Van Dyke took the victory for the Open Women with a time of 30:01.

Elliot Ketchel (GMVS/Bowdoin) and Alexandra Lawson (Craftsbury/Middlebury College) took top junior honors with the 4th (31:18) and 2nd (26:58) fastest historical times respectively.  Olympian, Dorcas Wonsavage, was the top woman Master with a time of 29:08.  Eli Enman from Sleepy Hollow Nordic Center showed is Mastery of the mens field with a time of 32:59.  Perhaps the most inspired showing of the day was that of King Milne, who at 74 years young,  propelled himself up the mountain with smiles and grace.
