Brooklyn Half Marathon

Marist Running was well represented on Saturday at the Brooklyn Half Marathon, with the following stellar performances:

--Conor Shelley 1:08:53, 13 overall, 5:16 pace
--Will Griffin 1:09:32, 14 overall, 5:19 pace
--Todd Bivona 1:35:06, personal best time
--Matt Walsh 1:36:50

In addition, our good pal Krys Wasielewski ran 1:42:19 and was 17th in his age group.

Here’s what Conor posted about the race on Facebook: Big day in Brooklyn. Bested my hardest PR, place 13th of 26,400 official finishers (just under 40,000 total), and mixed it up with some athletes I am rarely competing with. All on less than stellar eating and sleeping 72 hours before. Easily my best performance wearing the Winged Foot! So happy to be part of a club that is so supportive! 1:08:53, the smile is more of a delirious reaction than it looks.

Nicely done, Conor and everyone.
