Lady Danes run for literacy

[statefan]

I was reading the Sunday TU, looking for the name of a friend who had run in Saturday's Run for Literacy and I came accross the name, Sharon Majors. I figured it wasn't that uncommon a name, but continued to read the results and also saw the names of Maree Jones, Tanya James and Tanika Thrower. Maybe there are others I missed. I think it's great to see our student-athletes participating in a visible community event.

I ran Saturday morning as well and you can do me a favor and not look up my time .

 

There were a lot of UA people there. In addition to the players you mentioned I saw Jen Schmaker, Hutch and the new center Kristen Peterson. Also Coach Banda and some people from his team, all or most of the UA track team, as well as Jeff Kaier, Roman Dubiel and Coach Mueller from the baseball team.

 

Very well supported event by the UA community as there were alot of students as well. At the start the announcer was firing up the crowd by asking who was from UAlbany. I'm pretty sure Jamie Rodriguez, the guy who finished second ran track for UA a few years ago. There was a story on him last year when he ran the Stockade-a-thon. Pretty sure it's the same guy.

You are right. It is the same guy. Coached by former XC coach Kevin Williams.
