Mike G shines in 20-miler

Congrats to Marist Running alum and loyal Boston-area supporter Mike Guarascio (Mike G) for his strong run at the Black Cat 20-mile race in Salem, MA. G used the race as a tuneup for the upcoming Boston Marathon.

His plan was to roll at goal marathon pace, but he ended up picking it up as the race went on and finished in an excellent time of 2:03:59 – 6:12 pace. He was sixth overall and third out of 20 in the 20-29 division. Nicely done!

Also, a personal thanks to Mike G for running over to BU on Saturday to support our team during IC4As. He took the brunt of my frustration at the relatively slow pace during Will Griffin’s outstanding effort in the 3,000-meter run.

Best of luck in Boston training, G. Keep running strong.
