From D3 to Pro: Matt Wilkinson
Last time we saw Matt Wilkinson, he was preparing for the D3 National Meet.
Now he's in his first Pro season with Under Armour's Dark Sky team in Flagstaff, Arizona.
Before he got to Flagstaff, he had a few seasons at Minnesota where he swept the Steeple and 5k at the Big 10 conference meet.
He talks about how he's handled each transition from D3 to D1 to Pro and how he's overcoming his imposter syndrome with each race.
With each step in the journey he's embraced his new teammates that he trains with and gains confidence knowing he can hang with them in workouts.
As he prepares for the Olympic Trials, he's excited to see what a full year of training with his UA team can have on his performance.
Matt is running for the long haul. He expects to have a long career that will have him on the roads after track.
