UHS Teacher competed in historic Boston Marathon<br />
University High School math teacher Leslie Handyside participated in the<br />
<strong>2013</strong> Boston Marathon, finishing at 2:08 p.m., approximately 40 minutes<br />
before tragedy changed the memory of the day forever.<br />
Leslie had run four prior Detroit Marathons. She was invited to participate<br />
in the Boston Marathon after two qualifying races. She said in Boston she had<br />
an excellent race and finished in 3:42:49. Running with a friend, Leslie arranged to<br />
pass her family at Mile 22, where they left via the subway and met up with her later.<br />
She says, “The Marathon is an amazing<br />
experience. I am so grateful my seven family<br />
members were not personally affected. I’m so<br />
grateful, and I’m so heartbroken.”<br />
Handyside was among 483 Michigan runners<br />
in the race that included 23,336 athletes<br />
from around the world. Congratulations, Leslie!<br />
We are proud of your accomplishment.<br />
