Congrats to sophomore Katie Miale for her fantastic, marvelous and excellent debut at 20 kilometers (12.4 miles) in the racewalk. She placed fourth at the USATF Junior Championship for that distance this morning on Long Island. Thanks to Marist Running Alum Mark Valentino and current sophomore Hannah Albert for providing up-to-date splits, photos and commentary all morning. It made us feel like we were there. And a facetime chat via cell phone allowed us to see Katie at the finish and admonish her to get up and walk around -- seemingly cruel advice after she just got done racewalking for more than two hours! Katie's performance was truly remarkable. She racewalked faster than her USATF Junior Championships pace from June in Clovis, California -- and she DOUBLED the race distance. Quite a trick. We believe that this longer race distance is perfectly suited to her training and racing strengths. Nicely done, Katie!

Good effort, and if she continues to improve at this distance, maybe Marist's first Olympic trials qualifier?
