Will is a very successful runner based in our area who currently runs on the US Navy running team. His notable performance in 2019 started with the Austin Marathon in February. He placed 3rd overall in a time of 2:22:59, which would be his fastest marathon performance of the year. His Austin performance was accompanied in February by a 31st place finish at USATF Cross Country National Championships, which made him the 9th military male finisher.
