Mile 45: Joe Klecker -- NCAA XC Runner Up & Pac 12 Champ

Over the past quarter century no program has more produced more cross country stars and national championship teams than the University of Colorado. Coach Mark Wetmore’s charges included Adam Goucher, Dathan Ritzenhein, and Jenny Simpson. Last year Dani Jones won the women’s XC individual title and 5k track championship. The latest to carry the torch for the buffaloes is PAC 12 champion and NCAA runner up Joe Klecker. Joe joined us for an interview last week and we discussed the national championship meet, running for the storied Buffs program, and his love for home state of Minnesota’s Vikings, Twins, and Timberwolves.
