Nickname: Crayonaisse
Madison, WI (Madison Memorial High School)
Applied Physics and Mathematics

Benji came to Tufts with solid high school times but during his freshman year he lost consciousness and woke up in a small river. Capping off his indoor season by running 8:55 in the 3k, Benji went on to set a great 5k pr of 15:37 in the outdoor season, while juggling a new marriage and two jobs. Benji looks to better these times and to establish himself as a scoring contributor and an advocate for childless marriages.

Interests: Eating, mystering, talking slowly and monotonically, holding the sick, estranged, and dying in his arms.

PRs: Mile: 4:24.86
3000m: 8:47.21
5000m: 15:37
5000m XC: 16:30

Why Tufts: The guys on the team are great, I also really responded to the wood glue in the physics department.
