This week I had the pleasure to talk with Emily Clarke. She is a Manzano Graduate, DIII runner at Claremont Mudd Scripps, and transitioning to a DI runner at the University of Nevada Reno.
We talked about getting into running, getting to experience her dad coaching her in middle school, and when running felt like it belonged to her.
We also talk about her training over Covid and her decision to take a break from school. It seems to have worked out since she had a fantastic senior year finishing in the top ten in all her cross country races and ending with a 26th place finish at the DIII Cross Country National Championships.
We talked about choosing her school and choosing where she would do her graduate work. She is excited to be a part of the Wolfpack and to be running with her sister, who is also transferring to Nevada.
We talk about a lot of different things, but I think you really get to know Emily. Since she'll be a part of the Mountain West, you might be able to watch her run in Albuquerque again as well. So I hope you enjoy it.
This week was hot. I hope you listened to your body and adjusted your runs accordingly. This week should be cooler, but with a possibility of rain, that brings humidity. So hydrate, stay cool, be kind, and keep running, New Mexico.
