Name: Landon Morrison
Team: York High School
When and how did you get into track and field?
I got into track to stay in shape for soccer. I always did it for fun because I had friends who also did it, but never took it seriously until high school. I got into XC because I wanted to run track in college and the coaches I spoke with wanted me to make the switch from soccer to XC.
