Three local runners finished in the top 30 of the annual Litchfield Hills Road Race, a 7.1-mile trek held on Sunday in Litchfield.
Spencer Johnson, a 23-year-old Bristol native, was the top area finisher after taking ninth place in a time of 36:12. Johnson was a standout athlete at Bristol Central High School, then went on to have a solid tenure athletically and academically at Marist College in Poughkeepsie, N.Y.
The 29th place finisher was 24-year-old Waterbury native John Ducham. Ducham did well at Kennedy High School before moving on to Post University. Right behind him in 30th place was outgoing Kennedy senior Kyle Hotchkiss. Harrison Foley, 16, of Waterbury Career Academy was 69th.
