Julie Culley recently resigned as Director, Track & Field and Cross Country, at Georgetown University. Julie had been Director over 4 years, and had been an assistant coach at Georgetown during the previous two years. Julie had spent a half decade as an elite athlete, making the U.S. Olympic team in 2012, with a strong PB at 5000m, 15:05.38.
We thank Julie Culley, she is a great communicator, and she will do well at Brooks. We thank Mike Deering, with The Shoe Addicts, who manages and produces Socialing the Distance.

Julie Culley was one of a handful of women who managed both entire track & field programs (men and women). She now goes to Brooks to manage sports marketing. This will be a high profile position, making Julie Culley one of the most visible women in the sport. Writer Sarah Lorge Butler made this point in an excellent piece at Runners World on Julie Culley (August 28): https://www.runnersworld.com/news/a33824828/julie-culley-brooks-georgetown/

We spoke with Julie Culley less than two weeks ago, and this is our complete interview. We will break it into clips in the next week. My take? Brooks is making a HUGE statement by bringing in a director with the experience in athletics that Julie Culley possesses.
In the interview, Julie was thoughtful, self depricating and shows a vast knowledge in the sport. She also understands that she is now going to be helping showcase a vital brand to runners, somewhat different than the brand (Georgetown University) that she recently championed.
We thank Julie Culley for her time and candor. We thanks Mike Deering / The Shoe Addicts, on managing the program, Socialing the Distance and producing the videos.
Thanks to you, kind viewers, once again, on watching #SocialingtheDistance.
