Dean of the marathon

A hearty NICELY DONE goes out to Marist's Dean of Admission Kent Rinehart.

Kent ran a personal-best time of 3:36:44 at last Saturday's Baltimore Marathon. For those keeping score at home, Kent's time is an average of 8:16 per mile.

Interestingly, I heard about Kent's personal-best run first from one of our athletes in the van ride back from UAlbany, who saw it on Twitter. Funny how news spreads in 2011.

Anyway, great job to Kent, a longtime hockey player and coach who is relatively new to this running thing. He's obviously a quick study at this long-distance running deal.
