5 Things About Me: Eric Holt
- I have done Sir Walter 4 times, making 2026 my fifth Sir Walter and have had Tim Meigs’ family host me every time – thanks for the great hospitality!
- I first started track because I was too small for football so I used track as a placeholder until I was big enough. Ended up doing track and XC full time and continued so to this day.
- Besides running I worked at a psych ward, restaurant, and coached track and XC.
- Proud Carmel High School and Binghamton alum.
- I am one of the very few runners that can run a low 3:50 mile and bench 225 pounds.
