KIRKSVILLE MULTISPORT was well represented at the Indianapolis Monumental Marathon last weekend. With ten runners from the Kirksville area, we put two on the podium, two others got engaged, the rest had mixed success.
The scenic course was flat, but with the wind on the return half, the times were a little slower than expected. That being said, John Richardson and Bob Keough led the field of 55-59 men to take first and second. More hardware for the trophy case. Former Kirksville resident Gavin White posted a PR marathon but narrowly missed qualifying for Boston.
On the women's side, both Jen Bubel and Jodi Berman had great races. Both ladies met their Indianapolis goals. After completing her first marathon, Sarah Ignash was met at the finish line by boyfriend George Wescott and a diamond ring.
The remainder of the KIRKSVILLE MULTISPORT runners enjoyed the weekend but are ready to set their mind on the next event. There is always next time.
