Diego Estrada in his second year at NAU

After battle injuries throughout high school, Diego Estrada knew he had more inside. While most coaches thought sub-14 as a frosh was a little far fetched, NAU coach Eric Heins showed belief and encouragement. At the end of his first collegiate year Estrada came away with some impressive marks with a 13:47 5k and 28:54 10k. He looked good early on this past cross season until he discovered a problem with his lung. Now he is back and ready to compete with the best in the country, but this time he'll be looking to shake it up int he NCAA final.
