USATF Championships: Katie Miale places 11th

Very proud of racewalker Katie Miale for completing 50 grueling laps on the Drake Stadium track, placing 11th in the 20,000-meter racewalk in 2:01:07.87. Although the time was well off what she was hoping to achieve, she battled throughout the race -- especially during the second half, when it would have been very easy for her to pack it in -- and she represented our school and our program with great pride and success. People in the sport commented how "racewalker friendly" Marist track and field is, and that's a great thing. More details and photos (and yes, lap splits) to come during our long journey home.
