Alumnus Megan Herring Launches Sierra Video...and runs NYC Marathon!

Our very own alumnus, Megan Herring (Sierra 2-2010 & Sierra 1-2011) from Missoula, Montana had some great ideas.  She wanted to produce a video while attending the Sierra 1 Program this past summer...and she wanted to run in the New York City Marathon.  She accomplished both of these personal goals with flying colors.

Although Megan refers to herself as a bit of a 'geek', there's nothing at all geeky about her Sierra program YouTube video.  In fact, it's artfully crafted and a blast for sure.  We want to thank Megan for her skillful videography and great editing. Her video makes this a truly memorable Sierra voyage.

After the summer, Megan and her family decided to run the New York City Marathon together. This would be Megan's first 26.2 mile long race! The minimum age to enter is 18. That was cutting it very, very close for Megan, who turned 18 just one hour before the start of the race. New York Roadrunners, being responsible for applicants, requested a copy of Megan's birth certificate before they would permit her to run!  She just might be the youngest entrant ever.  Megan showed her stuff and finished in 3:53:24.  Bravo Megan! What a great way to celebrate a birthday! Read more
