CONCORD, CA (Apr. 24, 2024) — The Paris Olympics are less than 100 days away and dozens of Bay Area high school runners got the rare opportunity to train for two days earlier this month at Concord High with three-time Olympian Shannon Rowbury.

The American record holder in the 1500 and 5000 meters, Rowbury presented the Imagining More Running Camp with several guest speakers covering sports psychology, college recruiting, motivational techniques and injury prevention in addition to workouts on the school’s track.

The camp was arranged by Concord High’s cross country and track coach Lanette Stanziano.
