RunningRunning has always been there for me when I needed it. Some of my best friendships were forged by a track or cross country season, and it's a community that I can always count on. My competitive experiences in high school (Noblesville, Indiana), and college (Indiana University) have helped shape the way I approach performance coaching.
I'm currently competing for the New York Athletic Club Winged Footers, and am combining career and passion with Nightcap Training. |
