Black River High School, (1994-1999) Division II-III

Wright State University, (1999-2002) Division I NCAA

While now I only am a recreational runner, I’m very proud of my past accomplishments in competitive running. It was very important in shaping who I am today. Most of all, it taught me discipline, dedication, and leadership which have stayed with me now several years since my last competitive race. I am always interested in new running partners. Here are my favorite highlights from my racing career in both cross-country and track:

  1. My school record stood until the Fall of 2012.↩︎

  2. I actually ran a 14:56 through the 5K of an 8K race during my senior year, as we rarely ran open 5Ks in college. For an open 5K, my fastest time was a 15:12 that I ran during my sophomore year.↩︎
