Congrats to Marist Running alum Conor Shelley, who placed 64th at the highly competitive Rock ‘n Roll Half Marathon in Philadelphia on Sunday. It was Conor’s 13.1-mile race debut and he clocked in at 1:09:00. That’s an average of just under 5:16 per mile – nicely done!
Of course, his time brings back the memory of his 5,000-meter run indoors at Boston University several winters ago, when he ran 15:00.00 in his quest for a sub-15:00. Yikes! Fortunately, Conor did eventually break 15:00 for the 5k, just as we hope that he will break 1:09 (and beyond) in the half marathon.
