Addie wins and sets course record in 5K

It's great to see Addie DiFrancesco back in the race results. It’s even better to see her at the top of the heap, as she was oftentimes when running for us here at Marist. Addie, who graduated in 2012, still holds the school record in the 10,000-meter run. Last weekend, she ran in the Shaneanigans 5K in Woodbury, CT. She won the women’s division and set a course record in the process. Addie said the race was “super hilly,” and this from someone who loves hills and does not shy away from them. She placed eighth overall in 19:25.13 on a course that she surmises might have been a bit long. She outdistanced the second-place woman by 1 minute and 19 seconds, so it was a dominant victory. Addie has been doing a weight training class and one of the photos here is her posing with her IAP buddies. Sun’s out/guns out! Nicely done, Addie, and hope to see you at the Red Fox Trot.
