Megan Warzecha was always, from an early age, inspired by her dad's running.  She was even a member of the cross country team at her own high school. For Megan, this was something she was determined to succeed in, setting goals and always striving for better. She and her dad found in running a bond that has endured even now. Once Megan completed college, she began to run again, and currently, she is training for her seventh marathon.

Megan’s dad, Scott Landry ’75, was a member of the Crusader Harriers during his four years at Brother Martin. He ran even after a leg injury resulted in a tumor, surgery and a great deal of rehabilitation. His wife, Marlene, is also no stranger to Brother Martin having been a Battalion Sweetheart and Vice President for the Dionysians Drama Club. 

This past April, Scott was diagnosed with prostate cancer. His surgery was quite involved and his recovery is ongoing. To honor her dad, Megan decided she would like to wear a Brother Martin cross country singlet during her 7th Marathon, the Indianapolis Monumental Marathon. According to Megan’s mother, “For the mom of the family, this race was special for me as well. When we saw Meg wearing the crimson and gold with the Landry name on the back (carefully stitched herself) it was one of those full-circle kinds of events.” Megan finished with a  time of 3:24:59 enough for her to also qualify for the Boston Marathon in her age group.

Thank you, Megan, for honoring one of own. We pray for Scott’s recovery and wish the Landry family the best for years to come.
