Isaac chats about when he knew he wanted to attend the faith-based university and stay in Lynchburg, Virginia, to start a family after a 14-time state championship career at Charles City. He talks about the impact he makes on young people every day and leading a cross country program with a strong tradition of excellence. He tells the story of how fate led him to recruit former Mid-Prairie star Marie Hostetler and, eventually, her sister Anna during a return visit to Iowa. Isaac also shares the intense pressure he felt of becoming a four-time Iowa state champion in the 1,600 meters.
