Good Afternoon Striders!

Catherine McNamara set a new half marathon PR by 7 minutes in Utah this past weekend!

The team of Brandyn Naro, Jacob Wormwald, Mark Furler and Colin Smith came in 3rd overall at the USATF-NE Relay Championships, including 2nd in the DMR and 3rd place overall in the 4×800.

If you or anyone you know has run a PR or had a significant accomplishment, please let me know!
