Claire Green decided to try out cross country as a freshman in high school to get in shape for volleyball. 10 years later, she still hasn’t stopped running! She competed for The University of Arizona (Bear Down!) where she was a three-time All-American in the Indoor 3,000 meters, Indoor Mile, and Cross Country.

Claire now runs professionally for the HOKA One One Aggies. When she’s not running you can find her swimming, writing or in the closest karaoke bar.
