Herber Athletes Volunteer at Long Island Marathon
Track team provides hydration for runners in 26.2 mile race.
The track team didn't compete in the Long Island Marathon this weekend, but instead, the young athletes laced up their sneakers and volunteered their time to keep the runners hydrated.
They boarded a bus at 6:15 a.m. Sunday - a feat for any young person - and were ready to deliver drinks at the first water stop of the 26.2 mile course.
This was the first time the team volunteered at the Long Island Marathon.
