WHAT: Army Ten Miler
WHEN: 19Sept13 through 22Sept13
WHERE: Washington D.C.
SUMMARY: The Army Ten Miler (ATM) Race is held each year
in Washington D.C. It is sponsored by the United States Army
and the coarse begins at the Pentagon and runs past all the
monuments. This race is growing every year, consisting of
35,000 runners this October. The University of Wyoming was
able to take a team of seven runners. These Cadets began
training in the beginning of the semester, working hard so they
could all reach their personal records. Training five days a
week consisted of distance running and speed training for the
race. The team of 4 seniors, 2 juniors, and a freshman
started their trip with a long drive to Denver International
Airport the morning of the 18th, and a connecting flight to
Richmond, VA. They all flew into Richmond and stayed at
Cadets Hamblen’s home before the race. Before the race, the
team traveled to Washington D.C. from Richmond to sightsee
and attend the ATM race expo.
On Sunday October 20th 2013, the race finally kicked off and
the Cadets were able to put their training to the test. The
team ran exceptionally well with an average time of 71
minutes. The fastest male on the team was the captain, Jake
Williams (Sr.) with a time of 64 Minutes, and the fastest
female was Holly Reiner (Sr.) with a time of 73 Minutes.
Thanks to generous support from the University, family,
friends and local business the team was able to attend this
event and represent Wyoming without a cost to the Cadets.
