Hall of Fame ceremony tonight
GORHAM — Three-time Mount Washington champion Matt Carpenter and former women’s record-holder Jacqueline Garneau headline the 2012 inductees into the Mount Washington Road Race Hall of Fame in ceremonies Friday night beginning at 6 at the base of the mountain.
Carpenter, of Manitou Springs, Colo., was the fastest man to the top of New England in 1992, 1993 and 1998, and in 1999, he became the second person to run to the summit in under one hour more than once.
Quebec’s Garneau, the only woman to win the Boston Marathon and the Mount Washington Road Race, set a women’s course record in 1989, and captured laurel wreaths in 1994 and 1996.
Joining the two in the hall are Christine Maisto, a classics scholar who teaches at Monmouth College in Monmouth, Ill., and Keith Woodward, of Stowe, Vt.
Maisto set a women’s course record in 1985 and became the first woman ever to finish among the top 50 runners (31st). She boasts three Mount Washington titles.
Woodward won here just once, in 1983, but no one has run this race more often or with more consistency. His 36 race finishes are unrivaled, and he finished under 1:10 on 16 occasions. He sports 15 top-10 finishes.
