_Luke Albertson

_Luke hails from the shores of Norwich, CT where he was coached under Norwich Free Academy’s might-as-well-be-your-father Chad Johnson and Central Connecticut State University’s elusive hill creature Eric Blake. After living—along with a little running—in the woods of California for a two-month volunteer stint, he has since chopped all his hair off and entered the “real world” of proposal writing at an Arlington-based government contractor. Less than 48 hours after moving to Arlington, VA, Luke had a chance meeting with Coach Jerry at one of the many area tracks Coach Jerry monitors for new prospects, and he quickly fell into the quirky and nicknaming ways of the GRC runners. The English enthusiast looks to drop his 5k PR to something in the fourteens and to post respectable 3k and mile times. When he’s not sporting a GRC singlet, Luke can be found hiking, juggling or chipping away at his running novel.
