Sarah Overpeck and I were connected by the Founder of the CNO Indianapolis Monumental Marathon, Carlton Ray.
During this episode, sponsored by Relay Active, we talk about:
How she's Indiana through and through - grew up here, went to high school here, and went to Indiana University before working for the NCAA in downtown Indianapolis
The sports she was around growing up including her mom’s “race walking”
Losing her sister suddenly in 2017 and her dad to cancer
How she found running and ran AND rowed in college
Her role in High School Review at the NCAA where she’s worked for 16 years

Other races she's done and the “train story” where she and other runners climbed through a stopped train to continue in a race
