5 Things About Me: Lex Williams

1. I am driving to Sir Walter from Ocean City, NJ. This is my 30th summer in a row visiting the jersey shore with my family.
2. I coach cross-country in my hometown at Dexter High School.
3. I recently purchased a tandem bicycle for $101 at a yard sale, and later discovered the same bike selling on eBay for $1200.
4. I am afraid of aliens, but my favorite place to run is Peach Mountain; site of UFO sightings in the 1960s.
5. I started a running events company in Michigan last year, Boogahonk Events!

North Carolina connection?
My connection to North Carolina is that I broke 4 in the mile for the first time at the 2015 Sir Walter Miler!
