"FTLY" means Faster Than Last Year at this race
"FTT" means faster than time run at the Timlin 5K on June 20
(NOT faster than one of his pitches before he retired last spring.)

Age-graded time is done for the actual year of a racer's age, rather than just by the 10-year age division the runner is in.

If you ran this race but don't see your name here, please contact Jim or Tom by August 15.  (Because this does happen -- members not noticed in the results -- the above point totals have to be considered tentative until well after the newsletter is mailed.)
