And They’re Off! Students, Staff, Faculty, Alumni, Trustees and Community Members Race to the Finish in 2016 Carpe Diem Dash
Over 160 people came to Bay Path’s Longmeadow campus on a chilly Saturday morning to “dash” to the finish in the 6th Annual Carpe Diem Dash for a good cause: to raise funds for scholarships. This year, the event netted $4,450.
Participants spanned the University community and beyond. More than 100 students joined in the fun, and Director of Residence Life and Learning Lindsie Lavin led a five-week 5K training program, offering them helpful tips each day to prepare for the race.
The event featured live music, food, a “Fun Run” for kids 12 and younger, and awards for each division. Joe Hagerty won first place with a total time of 17:52, and Kristin Su came in first for women with an overall time of 20:18. Our own Dr. Carol A. Leary participated as well, finishing in 45:49.
