Hilton High School 2005
graduate Laura Iafrati, now a University at Buffalo
medical student, finished third at the
Roches ter
Marathon, a Boston-marathon qualifier, Sept. 18,
2011. Valedictorian and IB Diploma recipient,
Laura captained the Girls Cross Country Team which
went on six months later to win the
NIKE Team
Nationals in Portland, a feat that made Hilton
sports history.
The Rochester Marathon with more than
3,000 entrants and 555 finishers, is a 26.2-mile
endurance-run which followed a route from St. John Fisher
College to Burgundy Basin Inn in Perinton, back to the city
of Rochester's Frontier Field.
Supporting the runners along the way
were sixth grade students from Northwood Elementary School
in Laura Mayer's and Sarah Lintz's classrooms. "The marathon
raises money for the Alzheimer’s Foundation," Mrs. Mayer
said. "Students were happy to help and shared many stories
of people from their own families who suffer from this
disease."
