On Saturday, the STAC Cross Country program hosted their annual Spartan Alumni Run. The men and women ran in their only co-ed race of the season, a 5K at the Spartans home course at Tallman State Park. 2014 graduate Mike Galonski won the race overall, with Meaghan Ventarola and Katie O'Grady sharing the honors for the women. Following the race, the team and alumni enjoyed a bbq back at the St. Thomas Aquinas campus.
Senior Joseph Chegwidden finished 2nd in 17:08, followed by freshmen Asaad Jeffrey in 17:18. Gabby Sloezen and Kristen Borriello were the 2nd and 3rd Lady Spartan finishers. Sarah Callagy was the first alumna finisher.
"Its great to have our alumni back on campus and getting to know our current team. It is important for the younger kids to hear about their successes and the hardwork that went into them. Our history as a program is important to our growth," commented head coach Nicole Ballou.
