his second straight win in the Commodore Hull Thanksgiving Day 5K Road
Race. The Quinnipiac cross country star led from wire to wire and
finished almost a minute ahead of his nearest competitor, Brian Fullem
in a time of 15 minutes and 55 seconds. Four hundred forty-five
runners completed the race on an overcast, but almost balmy morning.
Robyn Hudak of Monroe finished seven seconds in
front of Kate Choromanski of Shelton to take the female division in a time

The early morning race runs through the
historic downtowns of Shelton and Derby as a celebration of the achievements
of one of America's greatest naval heroes,
Commodore Isaac Hull, the commander of the USS Constitution during
the War of 1812. This was the third year for this event which has quickly
emerged as a great new holiday tradition.
The event starts and ends along Shelton's Riverwalk
along the Housatonic River, but twice traverses the river while making
its way through Derby and Shelton.
