A win and a PR for Billy Hild

Congratulations to cross country team freshman Billy "Fresh" Hild for his 20-second personal-best time and victory at the Mid-Hudson Road Runners Club's Pete Sanfilippo Winter Run 5-mile race out in LaGrange on Sunday morning.

Billy ran 27:44.15, his first time sub-28:00 for 5 miles/8km. He was first in a field of more than 100 runners on one of the nicest winter days we've had around here in a while, with temperatures nearing 40 degrees -- felt like a heat wave! Parts of the course had remnants of the ice storm from the previous night, but for the most part it was smooth sailing for Mr. Freshington.

Holy crap, awesome beard, Pete. It's the first time I've seen it. Are you trying to be like Joaquin Phoenix?
