Intern John - Multitasker/Gofer

Started running his Freshman year at SLUH. Ran both track and cross country all 4 years of high school. Is now running at North Central College in Naperville, Illinois.

FUN STUFF

Favorite Movie(s):
Old School. This movie I'm sure inspired people to start running which I will take as a success even through they were only running to the Quad and then to the gymnasium, without any clothes. At least they were running.

Favorite Food:
Chocolate Milk with Oatmeal Raisin Brain Cereal. A lot of people think this sounds horrible but once they try it they realize how great it is. You recover and get great tasting food at the same time. It is intense like the circus.

Who's your idol?
Obliviously Matt and Ben. Why do you think I aspire to be more like them.

What was your favorite running moment?
My freshman year of high school Coach Linhares put me in the sophomore division at the Hancock Invitional. It was my first 5k ever and first big meet. I just remember the atmosphere with so many teams and cheering fans. That race was what made me decide to take up running full time. Being able to work with Forest Park Festival last year was a blast because I felt I was able to help, if in just a small way, beginning runners have that same sort of experience and catch the running bug.

What's your guilty pleasure?  
Drinking a glass of milk while wearing oxy-socks and half tights after a long run.  

Place you would most like to visit?
The Big River Running Store (more often).
