Millrose Games: Racewalkers shine

As our racewalking tradition continues to grow, Saturday was a great day. Freshman Lauren Harris, already a decorated USATF-caliber racewalker in high school, and junior Katie Miale, herself a multi-time USATF Junior Championships qualifier, both qualified for the USATF Indoor Championships with their strong performances at the Millrose Games at the Armory. The standard to qualify for the Indoor Championships, to be held in Albuquerque in two weeks, is 7:30.00. Lauren easily bested that with her fourth-place finish in 6:52.55. Katie just squeaked under the standard with a 7:29.33. Remember, Katie’s best event is likely the 20km distance, far longer than the relative sprint of the mile, where she got a personal-best time by close to 40 seconds! Both of these young ladies represented Marist well at the prestigious Millrose Games. We are proud of them. Nicely done!
