| Commencement, 2001 ... |
The pain is still fresh, the reminders are in the wind and
the hills at Van Cortlandt Park. Hard to fathom that our good friend, our
former lead runner, our former school record holder, and our loyal alum Greg
Salamone will have been gone from us for three years now. As we raced at Vanny
on Friday, all I could think of was Greg. He owned the course. He loved the
course, so much so that upon graduation he moved into the neighborhood (more or
less, in Marble Hill, close to Vanny). He never missed a Vanny meet. Greg lived
life the right way. It’s not fair that God wanted him back so soon, too soon.
We miss him every day. We think about him every day. And we are certain, 100
percent, that his spirit lives among our XC team – the team he loved when he
was here and followed after he graduated. You’re still running within us, and
we’re still running for you.
