NYC Half Marathon

Congrats to Marist Running Alum Ryan Fitzsimons for his fantastic finish at the NYC Half Marathon on Sunday. Fitz is training for Boston so this finish bodes very well for him. He ran 1:15:20, placing 103rd overall and ninth in his age group. His splits were even and he closed with a vintage, track-like finishing kick over the final .1. Nicely done.

Also, a huge shout-out to Ginny Townsend, mom of Marist Running Alum Brian Townsend, for her first-ever half marathon finish. Ginny ran 2:10:18, even splits and strong from start to finish. She made her coach (Brian) very proud. We look forward to seeing her later in the spring to congratulate her in person.
