Zach Panning Chipping Away Toward A Dream At The U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials 🗣️ "It's exciting to cheer for those underdogs and those people who might be overlooked – I think that's exciting. And it's fun to come from nothing, have a dream, and then slowly chip away at it. And having those dreams become reality is just a cool story. That’s the biggest reason." @ZachPanning of @HansonsDistProj shares about his prep leading into the marathon trials, his trajectory from running D2 to becoming a contender for the U.S. Olympic team, and lots more ⤵️ Read the full Q&A via @TheLapCount: citiusmag.com/articles/catch…

A smart and gutsy race for @ZachPanning! 🇺🇸 The 28-year-old is the top American in the #WAbudapest23 men’s marathon with a 13th-place 2:11:21 performance, his second-fastest marathon to date in hot conditions. Panning moved from 24th to 13th over the last 10km of the race.

As missed results go, this is a big one. At New Balance, Owen Westerkamp of Big Rapids made All-American in the steeplechase, placing 5th in 5:56.38, a STATE RECORD. (old record 6:01.79 Luke Anderson-Harbor Beach 2015) @brcardinals @GVSUXCTF
