Victory Lap 2.0: Saturday, September 26

 As a (quick) follow-up to previous post! It is CONFIRMED that the Victory Lap 2.0 will be on Saturday, September 26, with a late-afternoon start time. 

There will be a (Marist) football game that day, with a 12 noon o'clock start, so they want us to start our festivities after the game is over and parking/campus is a little less congested. Of course! You are always welcome to come early and support the Red Foxes' football team before our track celebration.

Based on (the very limited) feedback from alums: We will have an Alumni/Open Mile and we will have children's races. Other thoughts/options are welcome - let me know via email (Peter.Colaizzo@marist.edu) or text (845 309 3640).

One other concept: We will like to welcome back (and honor) all previous (and current) school record holders! So if you still hold (or you used to hold) a school record on the track, come back and be recognized for your greatness!

We would like to thank (in advance, pun intended) our Advancement Office for their help and support with this event. They noted that last year's Victory Lap had the biggest attendance (in terms of sheer numbers) of any such alumni event. They also noted that we (meaning ME) should not expect as big of a turnout for 2.0. So, here's a challenge: Prove them wrong! Come back, and bring friends!

Hope you have a good Holiday Weekend.
