We've got a bonus pod for everyone, as part of our Where Your Dreams Become Reality series.
Daniel Michalski was a baseball player and band member for most of his high school career. Then he tried track and cross country and he has taken the more circuitous route to the top ranks of the sport. He won a a DII NCAA title for Cedarville. He nearly won a DI for Indiana but fell over the final barrier.
Unsponsored, during COVID at one point he was working at Walmart to help support his wife Abby. When she got pregnant, he wanted to find a job with insurance, and that led him to coaching in Texas, training solo, a new coach of his own and a return to the top of the sport.
He was the most gracious 4th placer we've ever seen at the 2020 Olympic Trials, and now has his eyes set on the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Before that he's running the Houston Half Marathon this weekend in the LetsRun.com singlet. A LetsRun.com Supporters Club member, he asked Rojo if he could race in the singlet. We're honored!
