5 Things About Me: Joe Stilin

1. I ran four years as a Princeton Tiger and one track season as a Texas Longhorn in graduate school, majoring in aerospace engineering. In my case it WAS rocket science.

2. I’m originally from Milwaukee, Wisconsin so I know my beers, bratwursts, and cheeses (and how to stay warm).

3. I run for Zap Fitness, a non-profit running center in North Carolina that fully supports post-collegiate Olympic hopefuls.

4. I was once in a Blink-182 cover band as the drummer. We were terrible.

5. I’m going for my fifth sub-four mile at Sir Walter.
