5 Things About Me: Sage Hurta

1. I grew up in the small town of Hamilton, NY.
2. I have two dogs – Tucker (cavapoo) and Minnie (cockapoo).
3. Cheese puffs are my current FAVORITE snack.
4. I ran my first mile race at the age of 5 (after begging my parents to let me do it) in about 13 minutes.
5. I used to not like donuts, but I’m glad I got over that.

5 Fast Questions

1. What’s something people should add to their Netflix (or any streaming service) or Podcast queue? Downtown Abbey for anyone who hasn’t seen it yet.
2. What’s your favorite training shoe right now (or ever)? The On CloudStratus!
3. If you have to go fast food, what’s your go-to? Chicken tenders and a milkshake. Near my house, probably choose either Culver’s (yay, cheese curds) or Chick-fil-a.
4. Do you have any connections to Raleigh or North Carolina? My grandparents, an uncle, and a cousin on my mom’s side all live in Cary. I haven’t explored North Carolina very much, but have spent many family holidays in the state.
5. The sport of Track & Field would be more exciting (or better) if… we could get a wider audience invested in the stories of the sport, whether through direct community engagement or online.
