In an amazing show of strength and fortitude all four of the Groton Gophers went on to defeat one of the winners of the Boston Marathon and the New York City Marathon in the July 9, 2006 Utica Boilermaker. "Sure the guy is a lot older then us, and didn't take the race seriously, but we'll take any victory we can get.", one of the gophers was heard saying.

All gophers performed to the best of their abilities and scored PR's in this race. Stephen Codner had a time of 73:25 (7:53/mile). Ray Wagner had a time of 74:37 (8:00/mile). Ron Moore had a time of 76:11 (8:10/mile). Steve Gallow had a time of 76:27 (8:12/mile)
