Megan Condon grew up in Bend where she ran cross country for Bend High School. She went on to run at Seattle Pacific University where she had the privileged of competing at the National DII cross country meet in Florida during her junior year - one of her most memorable running experiences. She has continued to compete in local races, triathlons and makes exercise part of her daily routine.
After SPU, Megan attended Duke University where she earned a Masters Degree as a Physician Assistant. Using these skills and those gained as a physical therapy aid, Megan has helped develop a strength-training program to better manage injury prevention.
She is passionate about walking (and running!) along side young athletes as they learn how to compete, balance life and academics, realize the reward of hard work and discipline, and have fun in the meantime!
