The Whitefield cross-country team was visited by four-time Olympian Marcus O'Sullivan, head coach of Villanova University's cross country and track teams. Coach O'Sullivan has held the world record in the 1500 meter run, and is one one of only three athletes in the world to run a sub 4-minute mile, which he did over 100 times. Coach O’Sullivan shared his inspiring story of becoming an Olympic athlete—a goal he set for himself even before he started running. Coach O'Sullivan encouraged the Whitefield runners to follow their dreams, but to be sure to enjoy the journey, which is often as rewarding as obtaining the dream itself.
