It is kind of funny how the money is so deep for other groups but not masters. The third place Westfield resident got the same as the masters winner. On the men's side, the masters winner finished just ahead of the 3rd Westfield guy too.
Resident money can be hit or miss, but at least here there was some competitive times for Westfield residents. In the future they should probably offer some more money to the masters.
In response to some of the earlier posts, it doesn't appear to be a short course. It's a net drop, but you actually gain about 20 ft of elevation in the first mile before coming down through the finish. Most of the runners said the same thing: slight downhill course with a slight tailwind. Nobody seemed to think it was short, and the couple of GPS readings I heard seemed to confirm that.
In speaking to Hastings & Cragg after, they both really expressed a desire to be more involved with the community and loved racing in the area. Amy seemed genuinely excited to be living out here now. There is certainly no shortage of races in this area so they'll get their chances.
I just posted interviews with Cragg, Smith & Hastings (along with Zach Hine and Simon Ndirangu) if anybody is interested:
