Well before the Buffalo Bills took the field in Detroit on Thanksgiving Day, two runners from the University of Buffalo took home the top prizes in the Troy Turkey Trot.
Sean O'Brien, an Altamont native, won the 10K race, covering the distance in just over half an hour. Teammate Alex Hislop won the 5K race. Albany's Charlotte Richman won the women's race.
But the Troy race isn't the only race on Turkey Day anymore, hasn't been for a few years. Three other races were run Thursday morning.
In Schenectady, Lou Serafini (Boston College/Niskayuna) won the Cardiac Classic 5K in just over 15 minutes.
In Cohoes, Jamal Vasquez of Johnstown won the 3 1/2K Cohoes Turkey Trot in a slower pace than what was reported in the 5K races in Troy & Cohoes.
In Saratoga, at the Daley Trot, Jack Vite of Clifton Park and Saratoga's own Alyssa Connors won their respective 5K races, each clocking in around 16 minutes.

Siena was invited to compete in the ESPN Invitational in Florida. At least for one day, it really was the Magic Kingdom for the Saints.
Andrew Platek (Guilderland/North Carolina) led the Saints with 20 points, a collegiate career high, as Siena took down Florida State, 80-63. Javian McCollum added 18, and Jackson Stormo had 10 for Siena, which will play Mississippi this morning in the semi-finals. Tip time shortly after 11 am.
