As a lifelong athlete, Melanie has navigated her way through myriad sports, where running was always part of each. After ‘leaving it all out there’ at her first high school track meet, she realized just how much that hurt and so decided to transition to adding more sports to her roster to spread the pain. As a triathlete, she has competed in 6 different age groups and has no intention of stopping; a World Championship spot is in her sights if she can outlive the competition.
A huge believer in the power of running and sport to empower women, Melanie mentors female athletes all ages on how to use their skills as athletes in other areas of their lives.
