Congrats to Marist freshman cross country team member Omar Perez of Poughkeepsie for winning the Mid-Hudson Road Runners Club's Pete Sanfilippo Winter Run 5-miler at James Baird State Park in LaGrange on Sunday. Omar cruised to victory in the 5-mile race in 28:43, an average of 5:45 per mile. He was more than a minute ahead of the second-place finisher. We are very proud of Omar, who is cranking high mileage and getting ready to run some hopefully fast 10,000-meter races during the outdoor track season.

I'll be the first to admit it (well second after Geist). I'm jealous of all the new Nike "schwag" as you would say. Also nice job Omar!
