Career Highlights
I was a walk-on at Montana State University. I ran an entire year unattached and then raced my sophomore year. By the end of my time there, I had run 28:58 in the 10,000m and 13:57 in the 5,000m. I ran my first marathon at CIM in 2:19 and then qualified for the Trials in my second marathon, at Grandmas, in 2:17.
