Mike Tate (JH Gillis HS, Nova Scotia) finished 4th (16:16), with Tim Follo (Falmouth) 16:29.5 rounding out the top 5.
McClintock planned on running a faster time, but the course conditions hampered his chase for a sub 16, but if people didn’t know who McClintock was before the race, they certainly do now, as he looked strong leading the entire race, with Ladd and Brown breathing down his back for a good portion of the race.
