Buffalo Run 2017 Race Update
It would be difficult to look through the 2017 Buffalo Run results and not see LRC Racing names scattered all over the top finishers. On the women's side, the LRC women walked away with the top 8 finisher spots.

Mary now moves up to 2nd on the Top 10 list, while Anna Hazard's time puts her 7th on the list.
The men's side was more competitive, but LRC still had five of the top ten. Andrew Jacob (3rd OA, 27:46) led the way, with Ryan Hruska (4th OA, 27:55) and Ryan Regnier (5th OA, 1st Masters, 28:06) not far behind. Brian Wandzilak (6th OA, 1st AG, 28:44) and Connor Bohlken (9th OA, 1st AG, 29:25) rounded out the top ten finishers. Austin McKillip also ra, finishing 4th in his age group with a time of 31:31.
