Good sports
Mike Dehring wasn't really training for a marathon when he decided to run the Boston Marathon on April 18. But the 33-year-old St. Xavier head track coach and assistant cross country coach finished 60th overall among 16,743 finishers with a net time of 2:41.06. "I've been trying to run to stay in shape as much as anything else," said Dehring, who traveled to Massachusetts with his wife, Colleen, to compete. Dehring said he was surprised and thrilled with his finish in his first Boston Marathon - his fifth marathon overall. He was the 50th finisher among men and the 44th in the Open Division. St. Xavier coaches and teachers were so impressed with Dehring's finish, they announced it to the school the following week. "A lot of kids came up to me to tell me I did a good job, so that was a neat reaction." What's next for Dehring? After getting through the track season, he said he'd start considering October's Chicago Marathon.
