In the last 10 years of the Rockin’ Rooster Run only three different men have crossed the finish line first … of course, one far more than the other two.

And with Sergio Ribeiro of Waterbury – the three-time defending champ with seven career Rooster Run wins – not among the 206 competing last weekend, the door was left wide open for a new champion to emerge.

And so the trophy went to the last guy not named Sergio Ribeiro to win the annual Rockin’ Rooster Run – Brian McGovern.

McGovern, 24, a graduate of the University of North Carolina and now residing in Bonita Springs, Florida, eased across the finish line in 16:31 and re-visited his 2002 Rooster Run title, when he defeated Ribeiro by 32 seconds to earn the trophy. Ribeiro still owns the course record of 15:38 set in 2003.

Norma Grom of New Fairfield, 17th overall, was the first female finisher at 21:15.

The 31st running of the race was a time for the younger set to shine, as four of the top 10 times were turned in by teenagers – starting with Eric MacKnight, 17, who finished second to McGovern at 16:57.
