First Ladies of the Oval Office

Regarding the Twosome Race last night at FDR ... I would be remiss if I did not include this awesome result: The women's winning team of Ms. Gould and Mrs. Holton, the first Ladies of the Oval Office and excellent teachers in the Hyde Park Central School District. Mrs. Holton was Joey's first XC coach in modified, getting him started in a positive way in our sport, and as the assistant coach for distance runners this spring she guided our lanky youngster to PR times in nearly every race. She proved to be as good a runner as she is a coach. And Ms. Gould ... well, we all know and love her as being among our favorite Former (and Forever) Foxes, and now she is following in Holton's footsteps as modified track coach in Hyde Park. And oh yeah, she's a pretty darn good runner too. For those keeping score at home, the unofficial 1.5-mile splits were Mrs. Holton at 11:14 and Ms. Gould at 10:00. First Ladies, indeed!
