Summer Track 2023 off to a Flying Start!

Rockland Road Runners enjoyed a perfect summer evening at Albertus Magnus High School Track in Bardonia for the start of the Summer Track program.  Thirty one eager participants took part in Coach Ray Kondracki’s opening session, a 3-mile time trial. Tyler Perry started this season the same way that he finished last season, as the first runner across the line, in 0:18:59. He was followed by Botros Garas in 20:02 and Peter Graham in 20:51.  Jamie Kempton was first Masters in 21:08.  Roxana Nikoui was first woman (and first Masters woman) in 24:15.  Timothy Yang was the youngest finisher, at age 15 in a strong 6th position. 

Although it’s fun to see who is the fastest on the day, the runners are really competing with themselves.  Or perhaps with their future selves, as we will repeat this time trial at the end of the program and see how much everyone has improved after 12 weeks of challenging but invigorating workouts. 

Thanks to Coach Kondracki, his St. Thomas Aquinas athletes/volunteer assistants, and our own Jamie Kempton for running the workout, setting up the 3 mile distance on the track and recording the times.

*David accompanied our very youngest participant, Lucas, over the first few laps, so his time is not representative.  Thank you David for that generous gesture.
