    Will ran for Bishop Blanchet High School. In 2022, as a junior, he clinched both the Washington 3A State track titles in the 1,600-meters (4:07.65) and the 3,200-meters (9:00.36). Additionally, he secured the 2021 Washington 3A cross country championship and led his team to victory. Will boasts PR's of 4:10 in the mile and 8:53 in the 2-mile.

    Will also dominates the classroom! He received the 2023 Metro League Student-Athlete Award, the 2023 Ed Thenell Student-Athlete Award, and is also a member of the National Honor Society.

    In today's conversation, Will shares his story and early days in the sport and time at Bishop Blanchet. How he recovered from a stress fracture he got going into senior year and some lessons learned.
