Walkway races: Mass with Father Janczyk

In what we hope is the start of a nice tradition, Father Jacob Bertrand Janczyk (aka Marist Running Alum Matt Janczyk) said Mass at the Chapel at 12:30 p.m. after the races. It was kind of surreal entering the beautiful chapel while slower marathon runners were straggling in to their sweltering, midday finishes. As we exited the chapel about an hour later (note photo from Selfie King Krys Wasielewski), the final marathoners were coming across campus to the finish. The air conditioned chapel was a welcome relief to all of us, and Father Janczyk said a nice, simple Mass for all of us. After having run a surprisingly fast race – seventh place overall, 17:02! Neat.
