Clamterium Champion Sam O'Dell
First King of the Clam
Congratulations to Sam O’Dell the winner of the first-ever Clamterium! As Clam Champ, Sam won a can of New England Clam Chowder. About 20 people showed up at the start and 12 finished. All agreed there should be more Clamteriums, so we’ll do another one in June.
Here are the results of the May 12 triple-lap event:
