Strike up the band

Sorry for the lack of posts lately. Will try to get back into the swing of things this week.

We start with an update on the Red Fox Trot 5K road race, which as a reminder will be held on Saturday, Sept. 11. As part of my alumni mailing, many blog followers may have received or will be receiving a race application for this fine event.

There is one current men's distance team member, fifth-year senior Conor Shelley, who can actually race in this event as he only has track eligibility remaining and can run in outside competitions during the fall. And let me tell you something: Conor should be PUMPED up to run this race.

Here's why:

For many years, Conor has had this idea that we should have the fine Marist Band perform their upbeat and motivational brand of rah-rah music at one of our cross country meets. I know. It's a bit of an unorthodox idea. But, for those who know him, it is vintage Conor.

Well, guess what? Conor gets his wish! The Marist Band (which features sophomore Joel Moss on the tuba!) will be performing at the Red Fox Trot 5K. So Conor, there you go. You get the Marist Fight Song at the start and finish along the riverfront, to pump you up.

Get training, bro. You gotta look good in front of the band!

That's cool, now I don't have to play my own victory music when I cross the finish line
