Athlete Accomplishments April 2019

April was a busy month of racing, with spring race season fully in swing. April racing was a month of triumphs, both in terms of finish times and overcoming race day obstacles. Some athletes ran PRs and BQs; others encountered the unpleasant weather that comes with spring (overly hot days) and ran their best for the conditions of the day. 

Jodi qualified again for Boston at the Boston Marathon!

Kellie completed her first marathon!

Laura A. ran a strong 10 mile race!

Mark ran a 5K PR and won third overall/second male!

Jessica won third in her age group in a 5K and ran her first post-injury half marathon!

Janelle raced her first half marathon after a long battle with plantar fasciitis!

Meghan ran a big half marathon PR and broke 2:30 for the first time!
