Hi everyone! My name is Caleb and I am a third-year from Mocksville, NC studying biochemistry and biomedical engineering with minors in tissue engineering, genetics, and microbiology, and this will be my 10th year running track competitively! My favorite club memory is probably running the gauntlet (16 events in one day) or Halloween Relays!

I run cross country and distance track, and I run the events 1600m, 3200m, 5000m, 5k, 6k, and half-marathon. I am very passionate about the gym and lifting and I teach fitness classes at WellRec!

Vice President of Social Events
Hi! I’m Sophia, an Elementary Education major here at State. My favorite thing about run club is that I get to meet a lot of new people. I've made so many new friends and I love all of the activities and adventures we go on together, like rock climbing, Hershey Park, and hiking in national parks. Can't wait to meet all of y’all!
