Career Highlights
I missed qualifying for the 2020 Trials by 10 seconds after blowing up spectacularly at CIM in 2019, so coming around in time to win the Indianapolis Monumental Marathon in 2023 and hit the OTQ was sweet; however, my ultimate career highlight would have to be my 5:23 beer mile personal record.
