Complete Details for Colonial Weekend Alumni Gathering

Here are all the details from activities to hotels, meals, etc for our very large reunion weekend in conjunction with Colonials from April 4 - 6.  

Stites and Boularis Crush 5K

Emily Stites and Elaina Boularis crushed their respective 5Ks in 15:43 and 15:46 which ranks them 5th and 8th in the NCAA.   Both times are under the indoor record and Stites broke her own outdoor record by two seconds.  Both should will be going to the NCAA meet by virtue of the times.  Pictured above is Molly Huddle the outdoor American record holder in the 5K.  

EIght Women Qualify for ECAC

Elaina Boularis led the Tribe's contingent to the Iowa State Classic.  Boularis ran 16:04 which is the second fastest in W&M history and was closely followed by Emily Stites in 16:09. Meghan McGovern did extremely well in 16:34.  Other qualifiers came from a different meet in New York.  Carolyn Hennesey, Erica Amatori and Molly Applegate also picked up ECAC qualifier. More

Zach Perkins (son of Randy '84) Makes Runner's World

Randy Perkins was a mile/3K runner when I was in college.  He has three sons, two of which are current runners on the Air Force team.  Zach was the NCAA Division I runner-up last spring and was interviewed recently here by Runner's World. 

Ethel Chernock Dies

I'll put up the memorial service details as soon as I know them.  For those of you who were on the team in the late 70s and 80s, Ethel Chernock was somewhat of a mom away from home.  She has been struggling with cancer for the past three years (after being told she had six months to live).  She died last night (2.3.14) at home with Roy at 7:30.  Roy and Ethel were married 62 years.  More soon. 

Evans Sets New Shot Put Record

Rochelle Evans threw a mammoth record of 48'2" in the shot put to break the school indoor record and qualify for the ECAC meet.  Elizabeth Crafford also qualified for the meet with a 11'9.75" ple vault jump.  More here. 

Frenia Closes in on George's Shot Put Record

Drexel George '77 just retired last spring as a long time Fairfax County, VA social studies teacher where he had deservedly earned a sterling reputation as one the leading world history educators. Now he is being (happily) stalked by Taylor Frenia who became just the second person (after George) to break the 57' barrier with an IC4A qualifying put of 57.025 at the VA Tech meet.
