Happy Father's Day on the bridge

At this morning's Treetops to Rooftops 5K at the Walkway on the Hudson, Marist rising sophomore Omar Perez took second place. His teammate, Billy Posch, won the race! Official times have not been posted, but Billy ran around 15:38 and Omar just broke 16:00 and outkicked local Mid-Hudson Road Runners Club top runner Mike Chow. Here is a picture of Omar, with his proud parents Martha and Epi, who both finished their first 5K races. We had to twist Epi's arm a little as he was reluctant to do it, but Omar reports he is hooked now. A great day for a great family, and a wonderful early Father's Day gift for Epi, a good man and a longtime Marist employee. In the women's race, our own Kelley Gould was third place overall. Nicely done to one and all! Complete results will be posted eventually at www.mhrrc.org.
