We all grieve

The off-campus fire in the Fairview neighborhood that claimed the lives of three members of the Marist Family (two current students, one former student) over the weekend is a terrible, unspeakable tragedy.

While no member of our Track and Field Family was directly affected by this tragedy, we all are indirectly moved to tears. Marist is a relatively small, tightly knit community of students, faculty and staff, and we all are deeply saddened for our loss.

Our team members – past, present and future – live in the Fairview neighborhood where this fire struck, so it hits home. But again, it’s a terrible loss for all us here at Marist; we all grieve, and we extend our prayers to the families directly involved.
