Will/Britt wedding

Alumni weddings are always special affairs, but last Friday in the 1,000 Islands Region of New York was an extra special night. Will Griffin and Brittany Burns become husband and wife, thus uniting several school records and two of the greatest runners in school history – but more importantly, two of the nicest and most wonderful people this program has ever known. It was a marvelous two days, as I roadtripped there and back with Coach Emeritus Phil Kelly, enabling us to catch up on a variety of topics. That alone was worth it. 

As if all that weren’t enough? Officiating the wedding was Marist Running Alum Matt Janczyk (the Rev. Brother Jacob Bertrand Janczyk, actually, who is on target to be ordained as a Roman Catholic priest in the Dominican order within the next year). Matt did a wonderful job; this, of course, is a biased opinion, but it is one that was shared by many wedding attendees who did not know him. He has a great future as a priest, and we are thrilled for Will and Britt, who have a great future as a married couple. Nicely done!
