Arizona cross-country runner Addi Zerrenner was very familiar with running on the beaches back home in Santa Barbara, Calif., at any time of the day.
She knew this was something she would have to give up when choosing to attend the UA. She also quickly found out she would need to give up sleep if she were to excel as a collegiate runner in Arizona.
Zerrenner’s day usually begins around 4:45 a.m. She gets up, grabs a bite to eat and bikes two miles to McKale Center to see where she and her teammates will be running that morning.
