Marist Track Moms shine at 5K on Long Island

Thanks to an alert blog follower for pointing out the fact that three very loyal followers of our program, and three moms of our athletes, had strong showings at the Seaford Wellness Hot Chocolate 5K last weekend. Leading the way was Ginny Townsend, with a sparkling new 5K personal-best time of 27:44. Her hotshot son Brian takes credit for coaching mom to the fantastic time! Congrats to her. Ginny was 11th in her age group.

Also completing the race in strong fashion were Louise Valentino (mom of Mark Valentino) and Kathleen Gaye (mom of Michelle Gaye). To one and all, a hearty NICELY DONE and we hope you enjoyed the hot chocolate on the chilly first Saturday in December.

Last point: For those keeping score at home, Marist Running Alum DJ Paulson won his age group (18:49), and Marist Running Alum Mike Rolek had won this race in the past. So there is good history of program success down there!
