Rolek rocks in half marathon

This post is a few weeks' overdue. Our boy Mike Rolek (class of 08, former 10km school record holder) ran a sizzling 13.1 at the Newport Liberty Half Marathon in Jersey City, NJ, a few weekends ago.

Mike was using this as a hard training run, but it turned into much more than that. On a wet course with a lot of turns, Mike ran 1:10:23 (5:22 pace) and got third overall. This comes on the heels of a very strong 20km in New Haven a few weeks prior.

Mike is training hard for the Philly Half Marathon later in the fall. His goal is to break 1:10 at Philly. He's almost there.
