The kid from Akron | Alex Phillip on winning 5 D3 National titles, hunting for 2 more, UNC and more!

Today on the podcast I’m joined by Alex Phillip, AKA the kid from Akron! Alex grew up in Akron Ohio and even went to the same high school as LeBron James so that basically already makes him the goat of running. But Alex is also a very accomplished D3 runner as he already has 5 National titles including 2 cross country titles and 3 track titles. With outdoor track Nationals coming up he’s hoping to capture both the 10k and 5k title to add two more to his collection. He has attended John Carrol University for the past four years but Next year he’s headed to the University of North Carolina to hopefully help the team go for a cross country National title and to test his limits. On today’s episode we discuss his experience growing up in Akron, Ohio, some funny stories about him playing ultimate frisbee instead of doing workouts, the NBA playoffs, and more!
