MEET YOUR IGNITE! COACH: KRISTIN SCHROLL (EMAIL)

I have been a competitive runner since I was 12 years old, when I joined my middle school's track and field team. Initially, I had no idea what I was doing or what events I wanted to participate in. However, by the time I got to high school, I had found my niche in middle-distance events, jumping, and heptathlons. As I continued to grow as an athlete, I eventually joined the cross-country team and began running distance events in my senior year, which led me to run at the collegiate level. Unfortunately, I had to end my running career at Eastern Washington University due to several injuries. After a six-year break from running, I focused on strength training, and since then, I have run one full marathon, three half-marathons, a few 5Ks and more. Currently, I am part of a local running club out of Tacoma, WA, and I enjoy being a part of the running community. I have had the honor of coaching Fleet Feet Ignite! training groups several times and I am excited about coaching more sessions and creating new memories! What I love most about coaching at Fleet Feet is that it gives me the opportunity to work with the community and assist others in discovering and achieving their full potential.

Kristin also works at the Richland shop!
