Delaware National Guard Delaware team succeeds at Lincoln Marathon
The Delaware National Guard Marathon Team traveled to Lincoln, Nebraska on May 3rd to compete in the 25th Annual Lincoln Marathon.
For the past 19 years, the Lincoln Marathon has also served as the site for the National Guard Marathon trials. This year, almost 950 runners, including 250 Army and Air National Guard personnel from nearly all 54 states and territories, completed the race.
For
the second time in three years, Maj. Holly Scott, 72nd Troop Command,
captured first place honors overall in the National Guard woman's
division. Her time of 3:16:42 beat out her closest NG competitor by almost
25 minutes. As a result of her accomplishment, she earned a spot on the
All-Guard marathon team and will represent the National Guard in an
upcoming national competition. This is the seventh time she has been
selected to the national team.

Dan Arena, Headquarters STARC (4:20:11). This was Jochen's first National Guard marathon while Arena, Scott and Calloway each completed the Lincoln marathon for the seventh time.

representing the Delaware Guard well.
