Alumni racing update: Kara Lightowler cranks at Philly!

Thanks to the anonymous commenter for tipping me off that Marist Running Alum Kara Lightowler completed the Philadelphia Marathon in a stellar debut time of 3:15:52. Kara just graduated from Marist this year, and she adapted to the long distance amazingly well! She ran a marvelous negative split race (1:41:22/1:34:30, if I am doing the math correctly?), placed 115th among women and 11th in her age group. Wow! What a great, great race!

In addition, Liza Grudzinski's overall and age group place has been updated and she now finished 27th in the women's field and ninth in her age group. Good stuff.
