Erichson Memorial results

Congratulations to members of the Marist Running family who participated in Sunday’s Mid-Hudson Road Runners Club Ed Erichson Memorial Run. This is a great race put on by my friends at the MHRRC.

Marist cross country runner and senior team member Luke Shane won the 10-mile race in 58:16. Luke is training hard for the upcoming Boston Marathon, where his goal is a sub-2:40:00 clocking. Luke has a PR of 2:42. He has been cranking high mileage and high-quality long runs. Nicely done, Luke!

Marist Running alumni and school record holder Liza Grudzinski was fifth overall, second woman and first in the 30-39 division in the 5-mile race in 30:06. We saw Liza cooling down on the course with Marisa Strange (who was third woman in the field) after the race.

Marist coach emeritus Phil Kelly was also on hand, running the 5-miler with family members (daughter, sons-in-law).

It was a bit chilly out there in the morning, by Winter 2012 standards. Great job to all involved.
