Bio

Arch Robison hails from Champaign, Illinois, where it's 90°F and 90% humidity in the summer and the total elevation spread of the county is just under 230 feet.

In high school, he was the lead-off runner for a 4x800 relay team that finished second in state for the tiny-schools-in-the-middle-of-nowhere-division (no more than 494 students). His college 8k PR is 27:19.7 from last year's UC Riverside Invitational.

Outside of running, he enjoys studying and photographing wildlife and acting in community theatre productions. He's also an aspiring writer, though so far his only notable accomplishment in that field is a dishonorable mention in the prestigious Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest.
