Spartans Host Alumni Race

Spartans Host Alumni Race

On Saturday, the St. Thomas Aquinas College cross country program hosted the Spartan Alumni Run. This 5K race at Tallman Mountain State Park is an annual event that units the past and present Spartan runners.  The men and women ran in their only co-ed race of the season.   Following the race, the team and alumni enjoyed a breakfast back at the St. Thomas Aquinas campus.  Senior Ian Mirtile was the first finisher for the Spartans, while Aida Torpey was the first finisher for the women.  Christian Diaz, Dylan Bestler and Lisa Brevogel led the way for the alumni.  "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 Ryan.
