Proving that coaches can find time for running themselves, Head Coach Lowell Ladd ran the Steamtown Marathon in Scranton, Pennsylvania on Sunday, October 9th. Under ideal weather conditions - cloudy and 50 degree, Lowell raced to a second place finish is a time of 2:22:34 out of 1437 finishers.
The time was 2:34 faster than his previous best, set at the 2002 Boston Marathon. This marked the fourth personal best on the roads in 2005 for Coach Ladd, who also set PRs for 5 miles (25:37), 10 miles (52:07), and Half Marathon (1:09:04).
