Junior cross-country runner Andrea Condie started her running career far from where she is now. Condie said although her family is American, she was born and raised outside of the United States.
“I was born in Argentina,” Condie said. “We moved over to Qatar, which is a tiny little middle eastern country, when I was five, so I grew up there basically.”
Like many young athletes, Condie said she followed in the footsteps of her older siblings and parents, but it wasn’t until an elementary school P.E. teacher encouraged her to pursue running that she really adopted it.
