UMD Athletics

GETTING TO KNOW CONNOR BEHM:
Favorite Track Meet: NSIC Indoor/Outdoor Conference meets – Love being able to run against the best runners from our conference and the atmosphere is unbeatable especially during the 4x4 relay.
Why I Chose UMD: It was really nice to be able to stay in the city I grew up in and being so close to my family. So the choice to attend and run at UMD was an easy win for me.
Influences On My Athletic Career: My Dad because he has always been there to support me to become the best runner I am today. He is always giving me tips on how to improve and just being at every meet since I had began running. 
Favorite College Course: All of my Exercise Science classes.
What Most People Don't Know About Me: I am the biggest nerd when it comes to superheroes and e-sports.
Most Memorable UMD Athletic Moment: Breaking the school's indoor 300m record during my first ever collegiate race.
Pre-Meet Ritual or Superstition: I have to wear the same socks and compression shorts for each meet, and I also pray before getting into the starting blocks.
