Making this one look easy: Erin Murphy, with her ponytail flying, sprints toward the finish in the Voorheesville 5K at the high school on Saturday. Murphy’s time was 21:40. Two week’s ago, in a close finish, she won the Fox Creek 5K in 22:24. Organizer Phil Carducci said the Voorheesville course is the toughest of the three in the Triple Crown because of the hills.
