A three sport athlete at South Lyon High School, where he ran cross country, track and field and played soccer, Connor carried that multi-sport spirit to college. As an Olivet College Comet he ran track for all four years, along with two years of competing in cross country, while also at the same time playing four years of soccer in the fall.  After graduating, Connor helped coach the Comet soccer team as well as playing on different club soccer teams.  Connor is now working as a strength and conditioning coach at his alma mater.  His college PR’s were 2:03 in the 800 meters, 4:13 in the 1500m run, 17:18 for 5k and 28:38 in the 8k on the cross country course. In addition to using running to get into better shape, Connor is aiming for a sub 18:00 5km.
