Walkway Marathon: Official results, more notes

Well, yeah. We did forget some folks in the previous post. Shame on me! First off, my good pal and Coach Emeritus Phil Kelly had a great run in the half marathon, finishing in 2:16:14. I haven’t seen age-group results, but I’m guessing that got Phil some hardware in the 70-plus division. And also! Rising sophomore Will Duggan ran the half marathon in 1:27:53. Great job to both.

Here are official times and places of those mentioned in the previous post, as well as some others who weren’t mentioned but are worthy of note here.

Marathon

Mr. Bucket: Put a shirt on, will ya?

2nd place: Mr. Bucket (“David Swift”), 3:00:40; I was wrong in the previous post, I thought he was third. If the race were a little longer, he might have gotten third because …

3. Adam DiCaprio (son of Marist VP of student affairs Deb DiCaprio), 3:00:57 … was chasing the shirtless Bucket down, but ran out of real estate

7. Ricky Willi, 3:10:36. Post-race text: “Went out in 1:29:45 and died but I can’t complain at all. Fantastic experience and I hope we can get more guys next year.”

51. John McKee (Middle Aged Machine friend and Bucket training partner) 3:49:13

68. David Walker (Junk Yard Dogs pal and serial marathoner, it’s his seventh already this year) 3:56:02

77. Colin McComb (Phil Kelly’s son-in-law and ultra runner) 3:59:54  

89. Krys Wasielewski (Junk Yard Dogs stalwart and loyal blog follower) 4:07:41

105. Cammie Jones (formerly of the Center for Student-Athlete Enhancement at Marist) 4:13:25 in her first marathon

149. Tim Murphy (one of James’ Little League coaches; he showed up at the playoff game around the fifth inning, staggering around and muttering the word “pain” repeatedly; it was his first marathon and he did great with it) 4:32:44

173. Steve Sansola (Marist administrator and good friend of the program) 4:42:20

Half marathon

1st place: Will Griffin, 1:11:40

2nd place: Jamie Stroffolino, 1:14:07. Will ran with him for much of the race; afterwards, Jamie, one of the best local runners around, went and got married. Nicely done!

4. Billy Posch, 1:15:42, a nice spiffy PR for Bill

5. Ken Walshak, 1:17:58

30. Anthony “Fast Tony” Ferreri, 1:35:24

38. Annie Gould, 1:37:22

43. Billy Hild, 1:38:07 (solid effort after horrific long drive from suburban DC on Friday night; would have been fun to see him have to hold off a kicking Mr. Dwyer, but it was close nonetheless …)

1st place: Steven Rizzo, 15:41; said some nice things in Pok Journal video, which initially had him as a “Marist graduate” … let’s not rush things!

17. Catherine Ferreri 22:08 (third in women’s race)

 Volunteers

Marist Track Alum (and school record holder) Peter Van Aken commandeered the traffic control in the Fairview section of town, a very important job.

Our good friend Artie (Eric Gross) was the lead cyclist for the half marathon. When I told him the day before that Will would be running and he better be ready to pedal fast, he got real nervous. But alas, he did beat Will, and most importantly performed a vital race task, as did Peter.
