About

I joined CNW because I love racing and being on a team! My career goal is to run a sub-4 mile. Since joining CNW, I’ve improved from 4:39 to 4:14, and have made great friends along the way.

I encourage you the reader to consider joining the board - this club is for the most part run by your many amazing teammates!
