Hi-diddly-ho neighborinos!  The name’s Pat, but my nicknames in the club is Fratrick, or Frat for short, and DJ Rico.  You’re stuck with me as your Vice President of Operations this year, so if there’s anything I can do for you, just ask.  I’m also serving as the hurdles, field, and throws coach so if you recruit an athlete for me, I’ll adore you more than Ben Lambert adores wearing spandex short shorts.  Running Club is basically my family down at MSU, so I’m always working on making the club a better place for everyone in it.  I run cross country in the fall and in the winter/spring I high jump, long jump, triple jump, shot put, throw discus, run hurdles, and even do the occasional sprint/steeple chase.  I like long runs on the beach, romantic candlelit runs, running on rose petals, and Adam Terwillegar’s hair.  I’m a mechanical engineering major in the Honor College and I work at an internship over at Dart Container (they make red Solo cups).  I also work as a DJ for E&J Entertainment and have DJed more weddings and running club “social gatherings” than I can remember.  In terms of my running history, I did cross country and track, in which I did high jump, long jump, and hurdles.  If you’re just thinking about Running Club and you’re not sure, trust me when I say that it’s going to be the most fun you’ve had with your short shorts on.  Down at MSU, I’m also involved with Spartans Fighting Cancer, St. John’s Men’s Group, and MSU Men’s Glee Club.  When I’m not doing running club stuff, piles of homework, or scaring young children with the tales of Skurds-The Dirty One, I love to sing and play guitar.  If you see a tweet from @MSU_RC, it’s probably me.  If I can do anything to help you out, do not hesitate to ask!
