WSU runner Wammetsberger goes the distance in his final run in Pullman

Felix Wammetsberger has made a name for himself as a long-distance track and field athlete at Washington State University, but his journey from Southern Germany to Eastern Washington has shaped him into the man he is today.

"It was nerve-inducing at first, I have to be honest. I certainly did not know where Pullman was!" Wammetsberger said.

Wammetsberger is a graduate student-athlete at WSU, performing double duty on the cross country and track and field squads. Wammetsberger runs the 5000m race, by far the most grueling of the track events. He said it's something he was born to do.
