Joann Mathews led the Moose Milers & Marathoners Maidens to the team title at the 2003 Bristol, Rhode Island 10 Miler, taking home the coveted Belle Watling trophy for the year. Joann's winning time was 63:08, less than a minute off her team record set earlier in the year at the Yankee Homecoming 10 Miler in Newburyport, Mass.

The race was very tight, as the Maidens were originally declared 2nd place team at the award ceremony a scant 20 seconds off first place, only to watch the Belle Watling trophy and the $500 cash prize go to the Tuesday Night Turtles. However, a report from one of the course monitors that came in after the award ceremony revealed that the top 7 runners had cut the course and run less than 10 miles each. They were penalized 15-33 seconds each. Since two of the top six runners were from TNT, their time was adjusted up 1:04 and the Maidens took the victory by 44 seconds.

All women received a 10 minute bonus. All runners over 40 received a 30 second bonus for each year from 41 to 50, and a 1 minute bonus for each year over 50.
