RunBlogRun presents Socialing the Distance,
featuring Roisin Willis, HS Indoor record holder,
800 meters, and member, DMR world best team
Roisin Willis was a lot of fun to interview. We enjoyed speaking with her about racing indoors on the East coast, her running, and her plans to go to Stanford in the fall.
We wish her the best of luck in the fall at Stanford, but also, this final season in high school in Stevens Point, Wisconsin!
