Tripp's Story:
Tripp started running competitively 13 years ago where he helped lead Bishop Kenny to two cross country state championships. Southerland ran briefly at the collegiate level, then focused on studies, graduating with both a B.S. in Finance and Real Estate in '07 and an MBA in '09. He worked for two years at Deutsche Bank, Inc. while training half-heartedly before finding a renewed fire to compete. He moved to Washington, DC and has worked full-time as the assistant (to the) manager at Pacers Arlington while focusing on road racing in a never-ending quest to lower his PR's.
