This week I had the pleasure to speak with Leah Futey. She is a multiple time state champion from Cleveland High School. She is also a future Syracuse Orange. Leah talks about getting into running, and how she would come to her brother's practices. She had a talent for it and started running through Cougar Track Club, a local club, from an early age. She also talks about having a difficult cross country season her junior year and how she came back hungry to improve. We also talk about her track season last year and her summer races where she ran a sub 11 minute two mile and sub 5 minute one mile. She is a young star that you should follow through the rest of this year and into the future. The weather has been up and down, but we know that it's windy season, which means track season! Take some time to get out and support our local high school teams. I hope to see you out there! Stay warm, layer up, watch the weather, and keep running, New Mexico.
