NYC Marathon: Shout-out to Marathon Mom

Congratulations to Mary Christian, mother of XC sophomore Mariah Christian, for her outstanding race at Sunday's NYC Marathon. Mary ran a stellar time of 3:22:18 (7:43 pace). She placed 325th overall in the women's race and an eye-popping 12th (12th!!!!) in her age group. Remember, this isn't some neighborhood 5K. This is the NYC Marathon. That's an excellent age-group performance. As parents, we hope to be positive role models for our children. What better way for a cross-country parent to inspire her kid than by being a top-flight endurance athlete. Nicely done!
