Alex Hinton

Having spent most of his childhood playing soccer and football, Alex decided to take up track and field when he moved to Virginia from Las Vegas. In high school, Alex experienced moderate success in distances ranging from 500m to 800m. 

Alex's college career started off with a bang, punctuated by dropping 6 seconds off of his high school 800m PR with a 1:54 clocking by the end of his first season. Flashing forward a few years, Alex just barely missed out on the gold medal in the 800m at the 2012 CAA championships and logged a PR just barely over 1:50.

After running casually for fitness for a few years, Alex has decided to join GRC for more structure and great teammates. He aims to break that 1:50 barrier in the coming years.

PRs:
400m - 50.45
800m - 1:50.66
​1000m - 2:28.75
1500m - 3:56.30
