Sachem Teacher, Coach Runs NYC Marathon

Sachem North boys cross country coach and science teacher Billy Holl ran the New York City Marathon on Sunday.

He completed the 26.2-mile run in 2:44, placing 210 and finishing in the top 100 American men.

“The crowds were incredible and being able to run through the greatest city in the world was amazing,” he said.

Holl was averaging a 6:00 mile pace until mile 19 when he started to slow down.

“I just worked as hard as I could to finish up,” he said. “I kept thinking about the motivational stuff I try to tell my athletes.”
