New Shore AC member Roberta Groner continues to do what she has done for the past ten years: amaze and inspire the running world.  A busy mother of three and full-time registered nurse, somehow she finds the time to engage in the sport of running at a near-Olympic level.  Roberta owns the third-best time in the marathon among masters (age 40+) American women with her jaw-dropping time of 2:29:07 in the 2019 Rotterdam Marathon.

Roberta kicked off her 2021 competitive campaign with that same red-hot speed.  On a windy March 22 in Florida at the USATF Open 15K National Championships, she shredded the tough course with a phenomenal 51:56 performance.  This feat earned her the women’s masters crown with a margin of more than 2 minutes over second place.  And get this: her time was a mere 4 seconds behind the top masters male, multi-year USATF champion David Angell.  Read all about it here in an article by USATF Running Professor Paul Carlin.
​

We look forward with great anticipation to see what Roberta conquers next in 2021!
