2006 Almgren Memorial Mayday Race Results
(May 7, 2006)

The Princeton Psychology Team Green, an amalgam of Psychology and Economics graduate students, were the winners of the 30th annual Fred Almgren memorial race trophy, winning with a time of 2:59. Second and third places went to the Princeton and Rutgers Math teams, respectively. This year (2006), there were three teams competing. At one point near the end of the race (10 Mile Locks), all three teams were all within 70 seconds of each other. This was the closest race in several years.
