NYC Half Marathon results


In the better late than never category … huge shout-out to 2017 Marist Running Alum Elizabeth Wasserman for her truly stellar effort at last Sunday’s United Airlines NYC Half Marathon. Elizabeth was third out of 774 in her age group, 31st out of 11,074 in the race and ran an amazing 1:20:24 (6:08 pace) for 13.1 miles. And check out her 5km splits: 20:01, 38:47 (18:46), 57:48 (19:01), 1:16:32 (18:44). Wow.

Also, congrats to Marist Running Alums Omar Perez and Catherine Ferreri, as well as Catherine’s dad Anthony, for their great races. Despite very limited training due to graduate school studies, commuting and work, Omar placed 30th in his age group in 1:22:27 (6:18 pace) and Catherine ran a monster PR of 1:44:58 (83rd in age group). Tony ran 1:34:48, tearing through the final miles in Central Park and placing 34th in his age group (55-59) with a 7:14 pace.

And Marist’s Dean of Undergraduate Admission, Kent Rinehart, posted a stellar PR of 1:31:41 (7:00 pace), getting 79th in the 45-49 age group. Kent is training for his first Boston Marathon. Nicely done, one and all!
