Elizabeth and Spencer run fast at CIM!

We are very proud of our elite Marist Running alumni marathoners – Elizabeth Wasserman and Spencer Johnson -- who represented our program so well at the California International Marathon (CIM) on Sunday. Known as one of the fastest and deepest races in the country, if not the world, our alums did great. Elizabeth was 91^st in the women’s race in 2:47:19 (half split = 1:21:42) and was sidetracked in the second half when she had to retie her sneakers four (4!) times. She is eager to continue her pursuits in the marathon and she’s got a great future in the sport. Spencer ran a four-minute personal-best time of 2:25:27 (half split = 1:09:41), good for 112^th in the race. Spencer was slowed by an unplanned bathroom stop later in the race, but he bounced back to resume his fast pace for a strong finish. Nicely done to both Elizabeth and Spencer!
