Last year, though he had a qualifying time, Shenton ended up missing the BAA-imposed cut-off time by just one second! He qualified for Boston by running the Shamrock Marathon last weekend in Virginia Beach in a very commendable 3:36:21, especially given the race conditions (20 mph sustained winds).

“I was pretty pleased,” Shenton said, despite the “Nor’easter blowing up the coast [that] hit VB late Saturday night and Sunday. Im glad I wasn’t running the half marathon; they started earlier and had to contend with heavy rain and high winds.”

Averaging 7:48 per mile, Kukich placed in the top 100 overall out of more than 5,500 women. This was one of three races, which also included the Yuengling Marathon and Anthem Half Marathon. Congratulations!

photo of Tripp Shenton after Yeungling Shamrock MarathonPRBQ—What could be better at age 53! And no four-leaf clover required.

That’s probably what CRR Tripp Shenton is feeling like today. He ran the Yeungling Shamrock Marathon, held today in Virginia Beach, in a personal best (PR) of 3:28:59. That time was also a Boston-qualifier (BQ) for Shenton, a professor of civil engineering at the University of Delaware. He finished among the top 10 percent of the field, placing 277th out of 2788 finishers. Plus, what could be cooler than having your name printed right above your race number?

Congratulations! On to Boston.
