Meb sighting, part 1

Congratulations to Marist Director of Admission (and excellent runner) Kent Rinehart for rubbing elbows with Boston Marathon winner Meg Keflezighi in Kingston on Sunday. Meb was the guest of honor at the road races there. Kent ran a personal-best time in the half marathon and won his age group, which got him the glad hand from Meb. According to Kent's Facebook post, he ran 1:34:23 (7:11), earned the age-group plaque and noted that he beat Meb's time from Boston by more than a half-hour. Oh. Wait. Meb ran a full marathon! Great job to Kent, who is getting faster with age -- quite a neat trick.
