Our program was well represented at the Dutchess County
Classic on Sunday morning. The fog was thick – and thus, so was the humidity –
for all three races. At least, there was no direct sunlight. But the effects of
the humidity cannot be overstated. The air was thick. Remember: It’s still
technically summer out there, and it’ll feel like it this week. Anyway, Marist
Alumni swept the top three spots:
Current graduate student Spencer Johnson won the half marathon
in 1:13:33.24; we look forward to Spencer racing indoor and outdoor track for
us in 2018. Omar Perez placed second in 1:19:03.62; Omar is training hard for
his first marathon, in NYC in November. Billy Posch was a strong third in
1:20:48.65.
For the women, Annie Gould repeated as half marathon
champion, taking top honors this year in 1:34:08.50. Her sister, Kelley Posch
(yes, note the new last name!) won her age group in 1:39:07.67. Annie and
Kelley’s dad, Chris Gould, came out of road racing hibernation as though he
never left, placing third in his age group in the 5km (22:58.29).
Also in the 5k: Mr. Bucket (“David Swift”) was eighth
overall and second in his age group (18:09.68); Catherine Ferreri was second in
her age group (22:41.41). Also in the half marathon: Ken Walshak began his road
racing comeback with a 10th-place run of 1:31:16.57, edging out my
morning run czar Tony Ferreri (1:31:47.55, first in age group).
