   Patch Sprint veterans Tim Singer and Mike Taptick scored the first successful winter sprint completion of the 2015 season.  They covered the course in a time of four hours, 19 minutes.
   "Conditions were excellent," said Singer, who has recorded four winter sprints.  This was Taptick's first WS.  "Actually," he said, "I've never even hiked a mountain in winter!"
   Aside from some shallow unbroken snow "up, down and behind Sugarloaf," along with the usual ice on Pok-O-Moonshine, "we were fairly unimpeded.  Also, we thought the swamp (near Route 9) would be frozen.  We learned - the hard way - that it was not!"

   This is the earliest recorded successful winter attempt (January 12).  Prospective winter sprinters have until March 21 to better the duo's time.
