Vess in Tracktown USA

Marist Running Alum Adam Vess, now running for Team Flagstaff, was in Eugene last week for the half marathon race there. I am not on Twitter, but his post-race Tweet somehow landed on Facebook, and it read: "If the half marathon was an 8 mile race, I would have been very competitive." His race splits bear this out:
5km in 15:39 (5:03 pace)
10km in 31:08 (5:01 pace)
Half marathon finish time in 1:08:49 (5:15 pace).

So yeah. Our star was running a bit out of event. But it was a great experience for him, and his fitness level remains strong. He was 10th overall and 5th in his age group. I've said it before, I'll say it again: If Vess stays healthy, he can and will do great things.
