Our guest this week is Rhode Island running legend Hollie Walton. As fate would have it Hollie just happened to be a freshman at Hope High School where Bobby Doyle and Ted McLaughlin were beginning their legendary careers. Before the two began to influence his stellar career, Hollie somehow missed the running portion of the Presidential Physical Fitness Test and was about to flunk gym class his freshman year! Fortunately the physical education teacher found him in the gym shooting baskets and convinced him to finish the test with a one mile run on the track. With borrowed sneakers that were two sizes too big and dress pants, Hollie cruised through the mile in 4:50 and the rest is history. We hope you enjoy this episode as Hollie recounts his epic career from Hope High School, Johnson & Wales, University of Texas El Paso and back to J&W as a club runner.
