Lincoln Academy track athletes Nikki Leeman, 18, and Jian Giglia, 17, traveled to Atlantic City, N.J., to compete in their first official marathon recently. The athletes paced themselves in the 26.2 miles race and finished together in four hours, six minutes.
Giglia finished second for men (19 and under) and was 81st overall. Leeman finished first for women in the 19 and under category and 82nd overall. The Atlantic City Marathon course is relatively flat and is comprised of about two-thirds boardwalk and one-third road running.
