Liza sizzles at Mt. Washington


Congrats to Marist Running Alum Liza Grudzinski for her outstanding, top-10 finish at the Mt. Washington Road Race in New Hampshire on Saturday. Liz placed ninth in the women’s field and completed the all-uphill course in 1:23:10. That’s an average of 10:57/mile in the 7.6-mile race from the base to the summit of Mt. Washington. Outstanding effort!

We spoke with Liza and Kirk on Sunday as they were driving back from New Hampshire. Liza seemed very pleased with the effort. She really started cranking as the grade got steeper and steeper. Awesome stuff.

Also of note: Marist Running alum Matt Maynes finished 96th in the men’s race in 1:24:40 (11:09/mile). Not bad for a dude who specialized in the 800-meter race in college.
