St. Mary’s College of Maryland junior Brian Boyle, fresh from an Ironman event in Florida, will be a guest on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," Wednesday, Nov. 19. The talk show, taped in Los Angeles, airs at 2 p.m. on the East Coast.

Host Ellen DeGeneres will talk with Boyle about his recent finish in the 2008 Foster Grant Ironman 70.3 World Championship in Clearwater, Fla. Boyle’s overall finish time in the event was 5:09:14. “My first race of the season was 7:13:20, so I made a surprising drop of over 2 hours in my time since earlier this year, which is a great feeling,” Boyle said. 

An Ironman event consists of individual races in swimming, biking and running.
