“Despite his amazing successes in the athletic arena, Byron’s most invaluable contributions to his team stem from his passion to foster teamwork and a supportive environment. While winning the Nike Outdoor Nationals 5000 might seem like his most logical season highlight, he takes just as much pride in sharing in the team’s victory at the NEPSTA Division 1 championships.”
