6th Annual Mutt Strutt

April 28, 2002


Race Results


Every year is different. Last year, the long winter left much of the course under a foot of snow, but race day weather was beautiful. This year, winter was long gone, but new snow was falling from the sky. And more than a little rain with it. But the number of teams competing was about the same as other years. So thanks for not letting the weather get you down! With the clear course, we returned it to the original route. Tim Noonan and Gus are the only team to have competed in all six Mutt Strutts, and they won for the third time. Lauren Heyl with Raina was first female and fourth overall.

We thank our longstanding sponsors: Onion River Animal Hospital, Julio's Mexican Restaurant, Guy's Farm and Yard, House Mouse Designs, and K.C.'s Bagels for the prizes and refreshments. Also, we greatly appreciate special donations this year from Funny Times and Kate Carter/Cottonbrook Publications, and Cold Spring Farm. Thanks also to our volunteers: Mack Gardner-Morse and family, John (last name?), John Martin, Sandy Colvin, Eric Ryea, and Michael Chernick. And an extra special thanks to super-volunteer Dave Kissner, who filled in for co-director Jamie Shanley. Thanks, finally to all the humans and dogs who braved the weather and raced. Your participation made possible a donation to the Central Vermont Humane Society. See you again next year!

Donna Smyers and Jamie Shanley, Race Directors
