Penn Relays, Thursday night distance results: Vess notches strong PR

Congrats to Marist Running Alum Adam Vess for his stellar showing in the Olympic Development 5km race at Penn. Vess has been training well up at Flagstaff, and his return to the East Coast was nearly triumphant but nonetheless very successful. As you will see by the numbers, Vess (competing for Run Flagstaff) had a monster kick that was just one-upped by the race winner (Frank Devar of Pacers New Balance). His last kilometer of 2:40 was vintage Vess. After all he has been through, it is great to see him return to form with a nearly 30-second PR at this distance. We are hopeful he stays healthy and strong and continues to build on this excellent effort. Nicely done!
