In Good Company

It is said "you are known by the company you keep". Some of our own are rubbing elbows, and pounding pavement/mondo, with come very good company. 

If you follow current events in track and field you would know that 2013 World Champion silver medalist Nick Symmonds has changed shoe sponsors from Nike to Brooks and will be joining their Beast Training Group in Seattle, WA. And if you read this blog you would know that group is the post-collegiate training grounds of our Casimir Loxsom. Which leads me to state that since I have worked out with Cas, and Cas will be working out with Symmonds, by the transitive relation I will have worked out with Symmonds. 

Cas isn't the only one joining forces with someone boasting Olympic credentials. Leah Rosenfeld is now on the roster with Team Run Flagstaff Pro and Ryan and Sarah Hall.  The press release also list Life Back on Track Relay team member Nick Hilton which of course adds to our presence on the elite distance running scene.

Unfortunately membership in these groups requires one to race in gear issued by a sponsor instead of an alumni singlet. Guess we will have to let that slide.
