Brittany puts a CHARGE into 3k!

Thanks to assistant coach Terry Horton for pointing out the following weekend meet result to us:

Marist Running Alum (and school-record holder) Brittany Burns finished first in the 3,000-meter run at the Class of 32 Invitational up at Colgate University. Brittany, now running for our friends at the Syracuse Chargers, placed first in the mostly collegiate meet in a sterling time of 10:14.04.

This is an excellent time on all fronts, but especially considering the Colgate track, while nice, is a flat track and not the usual raised, bouncy and banked surfaces of our usual Armory or BU meets.

I’m sure the mention of the Class of 32 meet will bring back memories for coach emeritus Phil Kelly. We spent several winter Saturdays years ago traveling up to Colgate and back for this and other meets. They were long, long days – usually 6 a.m. departures followed by 11 p.m. returns, and usually right around Phil’s birthday, if I remember correctly!

Anyway, great to see Britt running so strong. Nicely done!
