The CITIUS MAG Podcast | A Running + Track and Field Show Zach Panning Chipping Away Toward A Dream At The U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials
"It's fun to come from nothing, have a dream, and then slowly chip away at it. And having those dreams become reality is just a cool story."
When Zach Panning graduated from Grand Valley State in 2019 he had three Division II NCAA titles and personal bests of 13:37 for 5000m and 28:30 for 10,000m. With a resume like that and a proven ability to withstand Michigan’s winters, the Indiana native was a prime target to join the Hansons-Brooks ODP. Panning qualified to represent the United States at the 2023 World Championships, following his 2:09:28 PB in Chicago. In Budapest, he ran 2:11:21 for 13th place, moving through the field like a veteran.
