Another classy act by the The Armory. Grete Waitz and Ted Corbitt are two of the most important role models in our sport. Grete Waitz not only won her first NYC, her first marathon, setting a WR, she championed women’s marathoning for a generation. Grete also showed the preciousness of life and moment’s in one’s life as she fought cancer. Ted Corbitt was a modest man, lead by example in ultra marathoning, and represented the US in the Olympic marathon. Nice job by the Armory Hall of Fame on this one….
