New Haven mavens!

Congrats to Marist Alumni Racing Team (MART) members on an outstanding day at the New Haven 20-kilometer road race on Labor Day. The New Haven race is the 20km National Championship, and we had three men place in the top 100 out of more than 2,300 finishers. Here's the lowdown:

-- Mike Rolek (Class of 2008) placed 33rd overall in 1:05:30, an average of 5:17 per mile. Mike went through 10km in 32:28 and came back in 33:02. Nicely done!
-- Joe McElhoney (Grad Class of 2009) placed 37th overall in 1:07:02, an average of 5:24 per mile. Joe went through 10km in 32:35. JoeMac is prepping for the Steamtown Marathon in Scranton in a few weeks. Nice job!
-- Joe Tarantello (Class of 2008) placed 79th overall in 1:13:19, an average of 5:55 per mile. While Joey Tat was not pleased with the effort, his training is going well as he tries to run a fast time at the Hartford Marathon in a few weeks.
-- Teddy Marak (Class of 2008) placed 146th overall in 1:19:45 (6:26 average). Apparently, Teddy Napkins has lost his marbles a bit in grad school as he entered he race as "The Flash" Marak. Nice. Very nice.

Again, great job fellas. Keep reppin the MART in future races!
