Alex Larmey - Alex Larmey will help lead the distance program this year as he boasts the fastest time in the 3200 meters and will soon dip under 5 minutes in the 1600. His hard work and leadership in the distances races are essential to the program’s success.

He returns as the #2 discus thrower on the team, and will prove to be very valuable in the shot as well.
