Leo Manzano Signs With Hoka One One
Leo Manzano Signs With Hoka One One
The 2012 Olympic silver medalist finally has a sponsor. Leo Manzano has signed a multi-year contract with shoe company Hoka One One, according to Running Times. This contract will run through the upcoming 2016 Summer Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro.
After being sponsor-less for over a year, Manzano will no longer wear a blank singlet at any upcoming races. Along with Manzano, Hoka One One signed 800m star Mike Rutt of the New Jersey-New York Track Club in December. Rutt had a solid indoor season and anchored the second place team in the world-record setting 4x800-meter relay race at the New Balance Indoor Grand Prix. Our own Mitch Kastoff, interviewed Mike just a few months ago.
Manzano showed signs of his old form at the Texas Relays, where he won the 800m in 1:47.34. After a rough 2013 campaign, many doubted the form of "Leo the Lion." He looks to respond with a stand-out 2014 year.
He will make his debut for Hoka One One at the Boston Athletic Association's Invitational Mile on April 19.
