STAFFORD, CT - May 17, 2009  TARC member Clinton Morse defended his title at the

Soapstone Mountain Race 6K aka “The Sampler” this past Sunday.  Morse (47) covered the course in 25.21, exactly 1 minute ahead of Roger Durand.  Clint is also on the organizing committee of the race and runs for the Shenipsit Striders out of Connecticut.  But, despite his devotion and loyalty to his hometown running club, Morse decided to sport his fancy new Trail Animals tee and given the results, we’re hoping he has started a trend for our members who wear the pack’s logo in races!  Congratulations to Clint.  You can see more pictures and full race results by clicking here.
