2017 Almgren Memorial Mayday Race Results
(May 7, 2017)

The Princeton Math Team won the 42nd annual Fred Almgren memorial race trophy, with a time of 3:01. There were 7, 8 or 9 teams in the race, depending on your definition of team.

There was some confusion during the race. The "slow" teams for Rutgers Math and Rutgers Physics were actually ahead of their "fast" versions during part of the race; the Math B team was ahead of the Math A team from 10-mile locks to Griggstown, and the Physics C team was ahead of the Physics B team from 10-mile locks until East Millstone, when a bystander ran leg 4 in boots. One team disappeared near Griggstown, and went to lunch. To round out the fun, the Princeton Math B team shared the first and last runner with the A team, creating a virtual gap of 22 minutes.

The next race will be Sunday May 6, 2018, from Princeton to Rutgers.
