Team
History
Prior to
fall 2003, the initial concept of the USNA Marathon Team was
attributed to the works of several midshipmen, who ran marathons
on their own. Due to their performance and interest, Midshipman
James Cathro put together the first group of midshipmen to form
the fall 2003 USNA Marathon Team. The team was initially
categorized as an intramural sport, but in 2005, the Commandant
of Midshipmen, Captain Charles J. Leidig granted club status to
the team.
