Congrats to Marist Running Alum Conor Shelley, now running for the NYAC (New York Athletic Club). At Sunday's Mayor's Cup 8km cross country race at Franklin Park in Boston, Conor was NYAC's fifth man and ran 25:05.
That's an average of 5:05 per mile for close to 5 miles of cross country running. Conor placed 34th out of 176 in the very competitive race. Nicely done!
Conor's former roommate and teammate, Adam Vess, made his first return to racing in nearly a year at the Mayor's Cup. Vess shook off the rust and ran 26:10 (5:18 pace) and placed 69th overall. He reported that it was a solid start on his comeback trail. Vess has been through a lot in the past year, and it's good to see him back on his feet -- literally.
