Iain Hunter is an exercise science professor at Brigham Young University.  After finishing running for BYU as an 800m runner, he went on to graduate school at Oregon State University where he studied biomechanics with a focus on distance running performance.  He continued running during this time and after returning to BYU as a professor, he was coached by Ed Eyestone to become a marathoner.  In 2009, he won the St George Marathon.  He has set age group records there 4 times.  His research and interest in running mechanics related to performance led to opportunities to work with USA Track and Field as their biomechanist for distance running and steeplechase.  He has been part of the Team USA staff for three World Track and Field Championships.  His four children followed in his love of running with his two daughters currently running for BYU.
