Bio: I started running because...I was cut from the baseball team my freshman year of H.S. I went out for track, got moved from the long jump to the two mile when I couldn't make it into the pit. I soon earned a JV medal for a stellar 11:30 two mile 3rd place finish at a local invite. I've been too stubborn and stupid to quit ever since.
