Matt’s Mission 5K Results Are In

The 2012 Matt’s Mission 5K boasted — including East Haven Patch editor and other area Patchers — on a perfect spring day at .

While some came to walk the course or, like me, challenged themselves to complete the run, many others were there for the competition and it showed in their impressive times.

The top finisher on the day was Ryan McGuire of Orange. The 21-year-old finished the 3.2-mile course in 16:50 for a 5:25/mile pace. He was followed by Aleksandr Moron (19, Durham) with a time of 17:36 and Jonathan Do Ingalls, 29 of Clinton, with a time of 18:25.

Rounding out the top-10 finishers were John Tolbert (51, 18:30), Alyssa Selmquist (21, 18:46), James Drummond (49, 19:11), Matthew Mirek (16, 19:17), Jason Conforte (17, 19:24), Maureen Terwilliger (44, 19:40) and Shane Hobart (39, 19:53).

Selmquist, of Northford, was the first female finisher across the line with a 6:03/mile pace followed by Guilford’s Terwilliger and Northford’s Mary DeMatteo (20, 21:25), who was 20th overall.
