Big, big congrats to junior Luke Shane of the Marist College cross country team!
Our guy Luke ran a huge PR this morning at the Philadelphia Marathon.
Luke ran 2:42:52, a 15-minute improvement over his race at Vermont in May. And get this: It was basically 1 minute per mile faster than his 3:08 at Philly in 2009.
More stats:
--Luke was 53rd overall out of 8695 finishers so far.
--Luke was 7th in the 20-24 age group.
--Luke ran a major negative split. First half in 1:23:57. Second half in 1:18:55. Nicely done!
Luke has already signed up for the 2011 Boston Marathon. After recovering from this stellar effort, he will start his buildup for that.
Good stuff.
