Sergio Ráez Villanueva, or simply Sergio as he’s known by many, really came into the consciousness of the running nation when as a student at McMaster he won the 2018 10,000m Canadian Championship in an all out sprint finish, qualifying him for the NACAC games. But shortly after the Peruvian-born Canadian ran at those NACAC games, he all but disapp…

You don’t get to be a 7x All American in the 800 without a ton of consistency; years and years of injury free training and properly executed racing strategy.

For fans of the sport, the name Becky Pieterson has probably been on your radar for a while.
