WHAT A GREAT DAY

 

It was an overwhelmingly successful Saturday at the track, a day we'll never forget. There's only one "grand opening" and this one was certainly grand, as alumni, family and friends came out in full force for the Victory Lap celebration. It represented all that is so very good about our Track and Cross Country Family at Marist. 

This is one day I wish I were on social media, because I heard there were a lot of neat posts. For this post, this awesome photo will have to do -- Lisa Chase and her children, and the old coach, all smiling at the end of a fulfilling day. 

As more photos become available, I will post them here.

Saying "thank you" doesn't come close to encapsulating the gratitude I have for everything involving this day. It was a long time coming, and it was worth a lifetime of waiting. 

If you are one of the alums who could not make it today, please know that our new track is YOUR home too, and it will be forever, and when you do eventually make it back to campus, it will be my duty and honor to give you a Personal Tour of the track. 

Going home, going home
By the waterside I will rest my bones
Listen to the river sing sweet songs 
To rock my soul
