Who has won the most USATF NE grand prix titles (men)

The USATF New England Grand prix has been around since 1985.  The fifth of the seven race series will take place this weekend at the Downtown 5k in Rhode Island.  No titles have been decided yet so this race could be the turning point.

Winning a title is not an easy thing to do only 80 men have claimed an open or age group category.  It is even more difficult to win MULTIPLE titles.  Only 29 men have won more than once.  

Craig Fram tops the list with 9 titles, amazingly he has won in the open, 40, and 50. I'm tied with Larry Olsen (legend Larry) with 8 titles.  Larry and John Barbour join Craig as the only runners to win in three categories.  I have the most wins in a single category with all of mine being in the open which included seven consecutive wins.
