Congratulations to Marist Running alum Zak Smetana for his excellent marathon debut at Sunday’s Mohawk Hudson River Marathon in the Albany area. Zak finished 16th overall in 2:54:22, winning his age group on an unusually warm day.
Zak ran the majority of the race with his old Niskayuna High School teammates (and Bucknell track alums) Timothy and Michael Ryan. The three of them finished with identical times.
It was a family affair, as Zak’s sister Corey ran a strong time of 3:26:49, also winning an age group award, and Zak’s mom (a Boston Marathon qualifier in the past) also finished the race.
I was there, completing my yearly marathon (more on that in a future post) in 3:43:55.
Nicely done to Zak and family!
