Congratulations to local runners Michele Grieco and Glenn Morse of Massapequa and Konrad Rogowski of Massapequa Park, each of whom won an award in the annual Lynn, Gartner, Dunne & Covello Sands Point Sprint on Aug. 10.
Grieco completed the 5K course in 20 minutes, 41 seconds, scoring as the third woman overall and first in the 25-29 age group. Rogowski scored in 19:11 to take third place honors in the 15-19 age group, while Morse took home the third place award plaque in the 60-64 age group with a finishing time of 25:40.
The Sands Point run is not an easy course, although it is clearly a scenic one, showing off the beauties of one of Long Island’s hidden treasures.
Special thanks to the title sponsor of the event, the leading Nassau County law firm of Lynn, Gartner, Dunne & Covello. Partner Ken Gartner navigated the course in 27:24, 49 seconds faster than in 2015. John Dunne scored in 46:16, notwithstanding arriving at Sands Point more than ten minutes after the run had started, and several other runners associated with the firm were also in the field.
Race management chores were handled by the Greater Long Island Running Club.
