This Sunday is the Women’s Olympic Trials Marathon in Boston. Two Ephs — Michelle Rorke ‘06 and Caroline Cretti ‘06 — have qualified and are running. I hope that many of you in the Boston area will consider coming out to watch. Here is the course (click for details):
The race starts at 8:00 on Sunday morning, and will last between two and three hours. Over the next few days I will link Michelle and Caroline’s profiles so that you can learn more about them, and perhaps decide to come to the event.

If you go, please take Williams banners if you have them.
Go Ephs!

Will do. I have one that says Williams with a purple cow. I plan to bring it.
It is more a visibility thing for spectators than a cheering thing for the runners, though — the runners probably won’t even notice it, even though the cow is about 2×3 feet, because they’ll be so focused on their race.

Joan Benoit noticed the Bowdoin banner in the running of the marathon at the 1984 Olympics in LA.
