Eugene Marathon & Half

There's much I could say today. But I'll save much of that for tomorrow's team post on Facebook.

It's enough now to give the most important number: ALL of our 22 runners finished (plus six of six from my UO class). That's always primary. Anything else is a bonus. Here are the results that made it a day of team perfection.
