Athlete of the Week - Michael Hardbarger


The AotW for March 2nd-8th is Michael Hardbarger. Mr. Hardbarger is a senior at Rochester Institute of Technology and earned his AotW via his dominating performance at the NYSCTC Championships. He ran a leg on the winning 4x800m, ran a 4:12 mile and got nipped at the line, then FELL DOWN in the 1000m and still won it in 2:33. He was named Men's Track Athlete of the Meet. He's run the 2nd fastest Division III mile time this season and also may be the fastest runner to ever come out of Ritchie County. (I haven't studied up on my Ritchie County history, so I'm not too sure about that.) If you don't know much about Michael, read up on him here. Best of luck at nationals.
