20 years (of the blog)

 Happy New Year. Welcome to 2026. Our team (part of it, anyway) returns to campus for practice starting on Monday and we get cranking on track (indoor and outdoor) for the next four months.

A new year marks a milestone (of sorts) for this endless blog. The first posts here were in 2007. That means! The year 2026 is the 20th (consecutive) year of posts. Not the 20th anniverary, per se. But 20 years of posting. Pretty neat. 

I think it's safe to say there won't be ANOTHER 20 years of this blog.

For now, we'll focus on the next week, the next meet, the next season. And go from there.

First State = First Rate

 

Great to get (this) photo of our Delaware Foxes doin' work, preparing for 2026 track. From left = Mallory Holloway, Sierra Fisher, Amari Mathis, Marcel Stewart. HIGHLY NEAT. 

Foxes' Aloha from Hawai'i

 (it was) great to connect with Forever Foxes Easton Eberwein and Marissa Sciotto, along with current team member Weston LaBrecque, for dinner last Friday night in Waikiki. Easton and Marissa live out here; Weston was visiting. Neat. 

Go West(on), young man!

 

In an incredible coincidence! Track captain Weston LaBrecque was on the SAME FLIGHT as us, from JFK/NYC to Honolulu, on Monday. Weston was headed here for a week to visit with his old teammate/friend Easton Eberwein (yes, we know, Weston visiting Easton, har-har-har), while we (my wife Heidi, son James and me) were heading here for a bit longer to visit our oldest son Joey, who is a captain in the Air Force and is stationed out here at Pearl Harbor for the next few years. Our daughter, Natalie, will eventually make her way here as well. 

Weston sent me (these) pictures of him and Easton from yesterday. We will definitely try to connect with them in the coming days.

This is Rainy Season in Hawaii = fine with ME, as it is warm and humid at all times (my kind of WEATHER). 

Fast marathons by alums at CIM!

These things are difficult to quantify but ... Sunday's California International Marathon (CIM) might have been the greatest (marathon) showing ever for Forever Foxes on a single day. Wow!

Spencer Bossi-Johnson (2:16:54, 5:14 pace) and Hayley Collins (2:37:38, 6:01 pace) both ran personal-best times -- in Hayley's case, a major breakthrough! -- and fell just shy of the newer (and MUCH tougher) Olympic Trials standards. Both are believed to be the fastest Marist Alumni times in school history. 

In addition! Kevin O'Sullivan (2:21:01, 5:23 pace) and Ryan Fitzsimons (2:33:27, 5:52 pace) both ran personal-best times. 

A great day to be a Running Red Fox in California!

Fastrack Season Opener: Women's results (4 school records!)

 Four school records, many personal bests, good start to the season.

(first) snow day at the (new) track

 First storm of the (winter) season? Snow problem! We had an unidentified staff member shovel lane 1, we had our (men's) distance team utilizing the "fast" lane and ... we had our first snow angel on the track. Neat x3!

Track season begins (in a week!)

 Hello. Hope you all had a reasonably OK Thanksgiving and you are (currently) enjoying a long weekend. It's a safe bet that MANY of you ran a Turkey Trot race yesterday. Back in the salad days of this blog, there would be MANY posts about Turkey Trot results. Alas, we are getting old, and (in case you haven't already noticed?) the number of posts has decreased with the years. However! We have been posting (here) for close to 20 years, so that has to count for SOMETHING!

Anyway? The 2025-2026 track journey through indoor and outdoor track seasons begins a week from today. The majority of the team will be heading down to Ocean Breeze for the Fastrack Season Opener, hosted by our good friend Nick McDonough, next Friday afternoon/evening. Some men's XC runners will have a much shorter commute, as Coach Billy is bringing them to West Point for a (flat-track) 5km -- also on Friday evening!

That will be it for the December portion of our season, with a full slate of meets in January and February for our indoor track season. Our outdoor track season follows closely on the heels of indoors, taking up the second half of March, all of April and the first half of May. Of note, we will be hosting our inaugural home track meet on Saturday, April 18, 2026. We are (quite) excited about this! We hope you will attend.

Millenium timing will have live results (for those interested in following along). This is the same course as the 2024 meet, a great spectator course as it is a continuous 2km loop (3x for women, 5x for men). Team goal is to improve upon the 2024 standings. OK!

Shagging flies at North Field

 One of the many, many unique and cool things about having on-campus track practice is that we share our North Field space with the wildly successful softball team. Their Field of Champions is just north of the Track at Gartland Commons. When legendary coach Joe Ausanio is pitching batting practice to his outstanding young players, the right-handed hitters launch missile-like home runs over the left-field fence ... and onto our track! Well-meaning administrators (and others) expressed concern over this. Pffft. I think it's awesome! It hasn't caused an issue with our athletes and it's fun to watch these home runs soar toward the high jump mats. If I have time, I'll even collect the bright yellow softballs and retrieve them to the softball field, until my aching left shoulder allows. Maybe one day I'll bring my baseball mitt! Again, this is Highly Neat!

Up late with (Uncle) Terry

 Did you stay up to watch Game 3 of the World Series the other night? My guess = NOT. The game went 18 innings and finished at close to 3a here on the East coast, when Freddie Freeman (one of my favorite MLB players) ended it with a home run. You know who WAS up for most (but not all) of the game? Legendary track coach Terry Horton, aka "Uncle Terry" to generations of Marist track athletes. Terry made it till around 2a, before he finally conked out. Terry is a Dodgers' fan. Can you guess WHY? Because he is part of a rapidly shrinking cohort of men who remember when the Dodgers actually played in Brooklyn!

The series is now tied at 2-2, which is great because it means there will be at least two more games remaining in the MLB season. I love baseball and I don't want it to end. Of course, with my (current) sleep schedule, I'm lucky to be awake in the middle innings!

Alumni (and virtual) Jerks

 Apparently! The alumni (Citera and current fifth-year Steven Viera) and virtual alum (Neel) were upset not be included in the lovely Jerk Squad collage of the previous post. So ... here you GO

(the triumphant return of) Jerk Squad (circa 2025)!
