Conor doubles, Girma sizzles

A lot of alumni have been posting some strong results on the roads, and I have been remiss in posting here. Here are a few that I have pieced together. Others, please send results when you can!

Conor Shelley, our favorite New York AC star, had a nice double over the weekend. He won a 5k on Long Island on Saturday in 15:40, going through 2 miles in 9:50, and proudly showed off his winnings with this photo on Facebook. A day later, he ran 26:29 at the Portugal Day 5-mile race in Central Park, getting 19th overall.

In the same Portugal Day race, Girma Segni was 13th overall in 25:14. Girma, who runs for West Side Runners, is clearly getting back into fantastic shape and that is great to see. Nicely done for two of the best XC/distance runners to ever wear the red-and-white.
