About

I joined CNW because I love racing and being on a team! My career goal, second to having fun, is to break 4 minutes in the mile. Since joining CNW, I’ve made a lot of progress, 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!

“Every team member has to contribute to their team somehow. It doesn’t make any difference if you’re the seventh man or woman, or fifth, or seventeenth, or tenth. Be an impact on your team.”
