Gobble, gobble

Speaking of leftovers, here are a few road race morsels from Long Island ...

On Thursday at the Garden City Turkey Trot 5-miler, Marist Running was well-represented. Our own Quimes DelaCruz, fresh off his stellar XC season, was second in 25:19.5. Running right up his heels and running like he was 10 years younger and still in college, 30-year-old Marist alum (class of 2002) Mike Nehr was third overall and won his age group in 25:20.5 -- an amazing run from the ageless star.

Setting the early pace was current team captain Pat Duggan, who came in sixth overall in 26:19.5 -- much like Quimes, Duggan was coming off a great XC season.

On Sunday at Rob's Run XC 5km in Syosset, Marist Alum Matt Walsh was second overall in 15:44, overcoming a very fast opening mile. He trailed only Chris Mammone, one of the best runners on the Island, who won in 15:31.
