Walsh sizzles at Cow Harbor

Congrats to Marist Running alum and Wantagh's own Matt Walsh, who had an amazingly excellent performance at the Great Cow Harbor 10-kilometer road race on Saturday.

Walsh, who trained much of the summer with current team member Quimes DelaCruz (another Wantagh guy), finished 15th overall in a stacked, elite-level field in an official time of 33:12.4.

According to Walsh's text on Saturday morning, his opening 5km split was 16:45, which means our guy ran a ridiculously fast negative-split effort. Nicely done, Walsh!

While on the subject of Wantagh Running, Marist (and Wantagh) Running Alum Sean Prinz (now located in the DC area) checked in with a few excellent 5k results of his own. On 9/11, Prinz ran a memorial 5K in Arlington, Va., placing second in 16:27. Just a few days ago, Prinz emailed with another 5K result -- 15:43, which included a blazing 4:47 opening mile.

Several Marist Running alums will be hitting the roads in marathon races over the coming weeks. Stay tuned.
