Raising nearly $6,000 for student scholarships, 143 people participated in the Lace Up For Learning 5k on Oct 13. President Joe Sopcich was amongst the participants.
“[The course] was manageable but challenging,” Sopcich said. “Personally, I did fine so it was a good race and you push yourself and you set the benchmark for next year.”
Although he would have finished toward the top, Sopcich stopped and waited to “officially” finish, waving others by. His final place was 55th. Sopcich had pledged to donate $1 for each person who finished ahead of him.
The inaugural event featured a 3.2 mile route looping around the campus drive.
