Syntelligent Gets Muddy…Again

September 30, 2017

Luray, VA – September 30, 2017 – On Saturday, September 30, Syntelligent entered a team in the Blue Ridge Mountain Mudurance, a 5K mud race held at Ralph H. Dean Recreation Park in Luray, Virginia. Organized by the Luray-Page County Chamber of Commerce as a fundraiser for their non-profit, this was Syntelligent's second year of participating in the event. The Syntelligent team of runners ranged in ages from 10-60, with 3 of the team members running for the second year.


Congratulations to Syntelligent high school intern, Bryce Ancell, who came in 4th out of 297 runners. A strong competitor and high school athlete, Bryce was cheered over mud hills and through the mud holes of the cross country route. He sprinted to the finish after rising to every challenge – tire mountains, hay tunnels, ice bath, mountain water slide, and wooden obstacle walls in front of him.


Equally inspiring was the performance of Maggie Marangione, Syntelligent Research Analyst, who decided to challenge herself just nine months after a hip replacement to “check off an item from her Bucket List.”


“Watching Maggie cross that finish line this year was one of the most motivating experiences of the day,” said Rose Ann Smythe, Syntelligent Community Affairs Coordinator. “I was so impressed with her participation and determination to be a part of this team. She is my new hero! ”


In addition to the team of runners, Syntelligent also provided numerous volunteers to photograph, help direct, and monitor competitors along the circuitous route. Syntelligent staff members Morgan Moore, Te’Quaya Giddens, and Holly Conrad drove 2 hours each way to join the Luray volunteers in this event.
