5 Things About Me: Vince Ciattei

1. I wear size 13 trainers so if there were shoe size classifications in track I think I’d be decent.
2. I have identical twin sisters who were both mechanical engineers at UMBC and just accepted jobs at the same engineering firm in Baltimore.
3. I’m a big Russell Westbrook fan and my girlfriend’s birthday present to me this past January was tickets to see him play in Portland.
4. I was 1st chair alto saxophone in the Maryland All-State Junior band my freshman year of high school. Still one of my proudest achievements.
5. My SB in the mile in 2016 was 4:20.
