Millrose Games: Kristi Licursi gets 10th in PR time!


We are so very proud of junior Kristi Licursi, who got 10th place in the USATF National Championship 1-mile racewalk in a personal-best time of 7:46.55, at the Millrose Games. Kristi just texted me to let me know that her previous PR time was about four seconds slower, back in high school at Somers. Coach Chuck was there and shared these incredibly inspiring photos of Kristi, who represented our program so well on a national stage at the Millrose Games. Here are her lap splits, courtesy of Coach Chuck (who did a great job of preparing Kristi for this big challenge):
