His name would have you think he bats cleanup for the 1927 Yankees, but Casey Comber is actually an Under Armour athlete with the UA Mission Run team right here in Baltimore. (Update: the man just finished in second-place at the iconic B.A.A. Mile over Boston Marathon weekend, less than a half-second behind winner Hobbs Kessler.) We got him into the studio to talk shoes, life as a professional athlete, and what it's like to sleep in an altitude tent all the time.
Comber dominated the Ten's 1500m but Leo Young may have stolen the show with his negative split 3:40.86 (March 4, 2023 - JSerra HS) Event Website & Results - https://www.soundrunning.run/ten Follow Sound Running on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/soundrunning
