Meet the Sportsmen’s Marathon Team

What do you do with your day?
I’m currently a Sophomore at Boston College studying Accounting & Finance!

How long have you been running?
I’ve been running ever since I was a little kid (I would do our hometown 5K with my dad every year). However, I’ve only been marathon running for about a year and a half — I did my first marathon in October of 2022.

What made you want to run for Sportsmen’s?
As a student at BC I’ve always wanted to run the Boston Marathon. When I was choosing charities to apply for, STEC caught my eye because it is also my last name. After doing further research & finding out that the after school program involved tennis, I had to pursue it as I played Varsity Tennis all 4 years of high school.

If you could time travel back anywhere – where would it be? And why?
If I could time travel, I would go back to when I started playing tennis & take it more seriously because I truly love the sport. If I could’ve been recruited to play tennis in college, I would do that.

Who is your favorite athlete of all time? And why are they your favorite?
My favorite athlete of all time is Serena Williams because of her tenacity & how she always competed well even if she wasn’t playing well.

If you could have dinner with anyone, who would it be? And why?
If I could have dinner with anyone I would just have dinner with my mom — she’s my best friend & the person I like to spend most of my time with.

Why should someone support your run?
Someone should support my run because going into my third marathon, I’m really determined to do my absolute best. After getting a disappointing time at the Chicago Marathon this past October, I’m staying super disciplined with my training this time around.
