Martino places in World Championship
Pius X graduate and Saylorsburg resident Matt Martino placed 515 out of 2431 men in the 2017 IRONMAN World Champions.
It was not the finish that he had hoped for as he was plagued with side stickers but the real trophy here is just to qualify for the race and compete with professional athletes and even a Prince from the Middle East all the the worlds top men athletes from 90 countries. Obviously not all of the athletes where able to complete the intense course as they biked up "Look out Mtn." , swam up river and ran in the heat in Chattanooga TN. But it was an amazing experience to be with people from all over the world cheering in their language and for each other. Matt's overall time was 4:46 for 70.3 miles. Choosing the Right Running Shoes
Runners take anywhere from 1,200 to 2,000 steps per mile—the impact created is four to five times your body weight. Considering that most of this occurs on concrete or asphalt surfaces, proper support for your foot is extremely important. It doesn’t matter if you’re a beginner or a seasoned racer—running shoes are the most important piece of equipment you’ll need. We interviewed running shoe expert Jeff Martinez, manager of The Trak Shak running stores in Birmingham, Alabama. Read on for his top shoe-buying tips.
Specialty running stores offer expertise that’s more difficult to find online or at big-name sports stores. Come prepared to talk about your running or walking history, particularly if you’re having foot, lower leg, or injury issues, so the retailer can properly fit you. Nike, Asics, Brooks, Saucony, New Balance, Adidas, and Mizuno are known in the running community for making reliable, high-quality shoes. Most brands offer shoes within a variety of price ranges, but if you’re worried about spending a fortune, you can often find older models of shoes on sale. Even if you’re positive of your shoe size, keep in mind that most runners wear at least a half size larger than their street shoes. Here’s why—with every stride, your foot is pushed forward in your shoes. Your toes need a little wiggle room! Shoes that are too small can lead to problems such as bunions, blisters, black toenails, and numbness. Pronation refers to the angle in which your foot rolls after it strikes the ground. Knowing this information helps determine what type of shoe you need. If you overpronate, your foot tends to roll inward or more towards the big toe. If you underpronate, your foot tends to roll outward, or more toward the little toe. Running shoes typically come in three categories—neutral, support, and stability. Underpronaters need a neutral shoe with flexibility in the midfoot area, while overpronaters need a support or stability shoe with less flexibility. Those who fit neither category can run in a neutral or support shoe. You may have your eye on those flashy, rainbow-colored running shoes that everyone is wearing, but ask a shoe specialist before you let your impulses take over. Make sure to get fitted properly first before you make a decision based on looks or color. Having more than one pair of shoes not only extends the lifespan of your shoes, but it also helps prevent injury. Wearing different pairs of shoes also works different muscles in and strengthens your feet and lower legs. Think of it like this—running shoe midsoles will actually regain their shape if allowed to “rest,” similar to Memory Foam. Many shoe companies promote their products with buzzwords such as “minimalist,” “drop,” and “energy return.” No matter what benefit is promised, remember that the single most important factor is the fit.

THIS DAY IN HISTORY - September 25
Central High School integrated 1957
Under escort from the U.S. Army’s 101st Airborne Division, nine black students enter all-white Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas. Three weeks earlier, Arkansas Governor Orval Faubus had surrounded the school with National Guard troops to prevent its federal court-ordered racial integration. After a tense standoff, President Dwight D. Eisenhower federalized the Arkansas National Guard and sent 1,000 army paratroopers to Little Rock to enforce the court order.
On May 17, 1954, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled unanimously in Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka that racial segregation in educational facilities was unconstitutional. Five days later, the Little Rock School Board issued a statement saying it would comply with the decision when the Supreme Court outlined the method and time frame in which desegregation should be implemented.
Arkansas was at the time among the more progressive Southern states in regard to racial issues. The University of Arkansas School of Law was integrated in 1949, and the Little Rock Public Library in 1951. Even before the Supreme Court ordered integration to proceed “with all deliberate speed,” the Little Rock School Board in 1955 unanimously adopted a plan of integration to begin in 1957 at the high school level. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) filed suit, arguing the plan was too gradual, but a federal judge dismissed the suit, saying that the school board was acting in “utmost good faith.” Meanwhile, Little Rock’s public buses were desegregated. By 1957, seven out of Arkansas’ eight state universities were integrated.
