Guam has lost another good one.
Long-time running and track & field official Gaynell Marsh has passed away, as several reports have indicated early Wednesday evening.
Marsh was a math teacher at JFK High School as well as the Guam Community College since the 1970’s and had just retired in the last few years.
He was an avid runner and the President of the Guam Track & Field Association for many years before stepping down in recent years.
He is survived by long-time partner Josephine Pinto and daughter Kelly Marsh Taitano.

Pro triathlete Mieko Carey finished third in XTERRA Japan on Sunday in a time of 3:43:02. Her career was on hiatus for a couple of years raising her twin children. It’s safe to say the 40-year-old is back in top form. Congratulations Mieko san!
