Fifty years ago: June 18, 1967 The seventh running of the Mt Washington Road race featured a close race with the top three separated by 1:42. Angus Wooten took the victory over Roland Cormier and Richard Clapp who were within seven seconds of each other at the summit. The Boston Athletic Association and the North Medford Club (NMC) again dominated the results with 22 of the 44 runners being members of the two teams. BAA combined for a time of 6:36:40 to NMC’s 6:44:38. It would be another nine years before a team other than BAA or NMC would emerge victorious on the mountain.
Nineteen year-old Rick Bayko finished twenty-third. Bayko, a student at Boston State College with personal bests of 4:22 and 9:16 for the mile and two-mile, would later go on to finish as high as thirteenth at the Boston Marathon. He ran a 2:20:56 in 1974. Bayko was the driving force behind the Yankee Runner magazine which covered racing in New England in the late 1970s. Bayko noted in the Hockomock Swamp Rat, that his best race ever was “the 1973 New Bedford 30K run where his fast 1:34:13 defeated a young Will Rodgers.”
