Yared Nuguse

Yared "The Goose" Nuguse, a U.S. Olympian and record-breaker, commands the track with a playful, fun spirit. Proof you can be a champion and play by your own rules. An NCAA Champion, he's claimed major international athletic victories and become an Olympic medalist. He also was the first On athlete to smash an existing world record. But running isn't everything. When he’s not on the track, he’s playing Mario Kart, solving a Rubik’s cube in under 30 seconds, or hanging out with his pet tortoise, Tyro. One day, he says he might even trade pro running for his dream job as a dentist.
