Walsh leads his new team to victory

Wow! Check out this link for the very latest news on Marist alum Matt Walsh, who is now tearing it up as a grad student runner at Molloy College. Walsh led his team to victory and won the overall race at the Mount Saint Mary Invitational down in nearby Newburgh.

This is phenomenal!

As many of you know, Walsh and I did not often see eye-to-eye on things through the years -- both at Marist and beyond. But I wish him nothing but the best in his current and future running and non-running pursuits. By all accounts, he has taken a renewed seriousness to the sport, and that is great to see. I am rooting for him all the way.

Once a Marist runner, always a Marist runner in my book. Great to see him completing his collegiate eligibility in a strong fashion at Molloy.

And oh, by the way: Current team freshman Quimes DelaCruz (a Wantagh alum like Walsh and Prinz) was on hand to cheer on his former coach, as well as other high school running friends.

By the way: The new Walkway bridge is really cool. Coach Chuck placed 5th overall in the Treetops to Rooftops race there this morning. More than 700 runners/walkers participated.

Back with more when I can ...
