I can’t even remember how old I was when I ran my first mile. I can’t remember how old I was when I told my parents, friends, and everyone I met that all I wanted to be was a runner. I am 22 years old now, graduating from college later this week, and while I want to be and do so many things today, one thing is still the same: I want to be a runner.

I know it’s not something I can just wish into my life, and this last year has proven that. After battling foot pain, endless PT, extensive treatments, and two cortisone shots, I didn’t get to race my final year of collegiate running. But here is what I did get to do: I got to travel and watch my best friends chase a passion we all share. I got to visualize the moment I run my first race back (which is still coming). I got to just exist around the sport and the teammates I love.

Something I’ve realized over the last year is that this sport gives and gives, but like anything else, it eventually needs something in return. I think I had just taken so much joy from running that it finally cashed in. No part of me is mad anymore, just grateful to be a Wartburg Knight, to have worn the uniform, and to be surrounded by the best team I’ve ever had.

My time here is done, but my time with the sport is not over. Thank you to @wartburgxc and @wartburgtf , my teammates, and my coaches. These last four years have been truly special, and I can’t wait to see what the future brings for these amazing programs. As I said, I am not done, some fun things planned coming soon.

⚡️Meet Owen Pries ( @owpries )⚡️

Owen is starting his senior year at Wartburg College in Iowa, but Rallypop met him here in Colorado at @summer_____camp by @5280runclub (by the way, it’s amazing to hear feedback on how awesome Summer Camp was - old friends running into each other, new friendships forming, and maybe some dates were set up (??)

Owen is a track athlete, specializing in Steeplechase, and clearly excels in several non-NCAA sanctioned race formats on the side.

Owen is an incredible athlete, runs a super fast mile and is an all around American hero evidenced by how he brings both high level performance and humor with him and to the track.

We loved having you in Colorado this summer Owen! Stay healthy, good luck this season and go win some races!
