Conor at Seattle … and back home

This is a little late, but last week (Dec. 10, to be exact), our very own Conor Shelley competed – and competed well! – at the USATF National Club Cross Country Championships, held at Jefferson Park Golf Course in Seattle.

Running for New York AC, Conor was NYAC’s sixth man and placed 78th overall in 31:37 for the 10km XC course. That’s an average of 5:06 per mile. Conor was not too happy with the effort, but it caps a pretty solid first half-year of post-collegiate running. Here is a link to the championship results.

We are glad that Conor latched on with NYAC and we look forward to posting more positive results from him in 2012 and beyond.

Oh! This just in … Conor won the Ho Ho Ho Holiday 5K in Bethpage on Sunday, running 15:42 and placing first out of 1,236 finishers. Here is a link to the results from today.
