Brandon Wheeler represents another diamond in the rough for this year's TUXC squad. A nagging injury that occurred in Dallas last spring stole his opportunity to build off his winter PR of 9:41 in the 3200. Without a doubt, one of the gutsier members of the TUXC squad, Brandon brings a quiet personality and explosive racing style far away from Dallas this fall.
Interests: Carrying large things on my back, hairless infants
PRs: 5000m: 15:48.78
Why Tufts: Because it was a great balance between athletics and academics close to Boston and also far from Dallas.
