Manny Reyes Jr., a 7th-grade student at Miami Lakes K-8 Center, participated in the Miami Marathon Run for the fifth consecutive year on Sunday, January 25 in Downtown Miami. He scored the fastest time in his school again with help from his coach, World Class Runner and the school’s physical education teacher Alexis Garcia, who recently competed his Run Across Cuba marathon, a 1,000 mile run from Punta de Maisi to Cabo de San Antonio in 35 days. Manny is also the first student at the school to run over 100 miles in Garcia’s 100 mile club. He is pictured on the left with Garcia and Manny Reyes Sr.
