I started running in 5th grade for Golf Junior High. Back then
I was a sprinter and ran mostly the 100 meter dash. I continued to
run at Niles north and ran mostly the quarter. I also made the all
conference team my senior year in the 2 mile relay. At Northern
Illinois University I made the jump to long distance and ran both
track (1500 and 5000 meters) and cross country. We were a track
club but competed against all our Division One conference schools.
I have run with Niles West/Oakton for about 5 years now and was 2nd
in my age group in the Cara circuit for 20-24. I am also one of the
race directors of the Galloping Ghost 5k. We are in our 9th year and
our second on the CARA circuit.
