Bio

Prior to Hartnell: Brandon competed for three years at North Salinas High School. He placed 33rd at the Salinas City Championship a junior in the varsity race. 

"Despite starting off his Hartnell College career online, Brandon has managed to do well both academically and athletically. He was very motivated through the summer and fall even as he did most of his training on his own. He reached the amazing goal of running 100 miles in a week which helped redefine his training capacity. Pandemic fatigue set in toward the end of the semester but he's excited to get back to training and use some of the new knowledge about his ability he acquired in 2020 toward preparing for this fall's return to competition."
