Alumni racing XC

Today at a hilly Natirar Park in Peapack-Gladstone, NJ -- an incredibly beautiful area of the Garden State -- two Marist Running Alums ran the USTAF-NJ 8K XC Championships. Arquimedes DelaCruz, now sporting the black and yellow (black and yellow/black and yellow/black and yellow) of the Garden State Track Club and looking his he is having a grand time of it, placed 23rd in 27:41.15. Matt Walsh, representing Sneaker Factory, finished several strides back in 43rd place at 29:22.29. Walsh is on the comeback trail, and has put together some great training over the past month. Keep an eye on Walsh, as great things could be on the horizon for him as he approaches a milestone birthday (30) in the first half of 2015. Lastly, at the bottom of this post is a photo of Will Griffin and Quimes running stride for stride early on at Princeton last week. Glad to see our boys still spiking it up for XC after all these years.
