Meet Matt Maldonado, the best miler you don't know

Jan 7, 2013

Matt Maldonado was a 4:12 high school miler that ran to Jamba Juice for practice, but started taking things more serious after his junior XC season. He got to college and showed steady improvement, but after a 3:44 sophomore season he became anemic and missed his junior track track season. He came back in 2012 strong than before as he made the NCAA indoor meet with his first sub 4:00 mile (3:59.08) and followed it up with a redshirt performance in the 1500 of 3:37. Matt talks about his progression and where he'd like to go in 2013, his final collegiate season. The Flotrack twitter community asked Matt a couple questions, check out his responses here.
