General Interest

General
NEW CLUB
In October 2020 he began training with Bowerman Track Club in Portland, OR, United States of America. "Physically, I feel the training was more intense than in college, so it took some time to get the body used to that. I felt like every week I was working a little harder to stay healthy. Every coach I talk to seems to only say good things about [coach] Jerry Schumacher and the group. He seems to know exactly what we need at what time in terms of workouts. He knows when to hold me back and when to take me out of a workout. He's not too intense that he's screaming and yelling at you. The teammates here are so kind as well."

Born in Washington, DC, United States of America, to a Thai father and US mother, he was raised in Thailand and went to school there between ages four and eight, before moving back to the United States of America.
