The first time marathoners were nearing the 9 mile marker.
Coaches Don and Sue Romano were standing near the Tulane cheering squad.
From their direction, a blow horn screamed, “Go Team!”
Matt remembered Coach Don's send-off party speech:
"A marathon is run in 3 parts:
Run with your head for the first,
Run with your body for the second,
Run with your heart for the last!”
It was time to change gear for the next eight miles.
