  • It was so special getting to participate in the USATF Foundation Run With US! program. The student athletes from the Santa Margarita High School cross country team asked great questions and I was happy that I was able to share some of my insight. Thank you to USATF Foundation for connecting me to these great kids!

It has made a great difference in the way I am able to train, and I hope to be exactly where I need to be come next year!

  • We thank you all for your support of our program, it's an amazing feeling to have an organization such as yours believe in our mission. Supporting our low-income families in Baltimore is the most important and fulfilling aspect of our program. We are so grateful for the work you all do in helping sustained youth track and field. Thank you again.
