What a pleasant surprise, upon arrival at Yale on Sunday morning, to see former Marist sprinter Dan Conklin in the parking lot. Conklin is now a police officer in New Haven, as you can see above. Much like when he was an athlete for us, Conklin was under-dressed for the elements and his old coach was over-dressed on the chilly morning. It was great to see Conklin, although I must admit a bit of sadness that he did not come through with his offer for free coffee later in the day. I am sure there was much Police Activity that he had to attend to. But no worries. Our reigning marathon hero, Kara Lightowler, delivered with a small black coffee from Dunkin later in the day. As always, it is wonderful to see the loyalty of our Marist Running Alums, who keep coming back to watch us compete.
