Nick Symmonds surprised many last June at the USATF Outdoors. Winning his sixth national championships when most the proverbial chips were stacked against him. But, don’t tell the Willamette graduate that: he does not subscribe to conventional wisdom.
A silver medalist in the World Championships, Nick Symmonds knows not only how to win races, but, how to great through rounds and win medals. Those lessons were hard
fought and hard learned.
For his superb victory in Eugene, we salute Nick Symmonds as our RunBlogRun Male American Athlete of the month for June 2015!
As the video says, ” Never underestimate a Beast!”
