Mike Gille | Shoe Specialist

I started working at Running Wild in the spring of 2021. I am currently a senior at Augustana College, where I'm studying biology with a minor in chemistry and I run track and cross country. Despite a few injuries along the way, so far I've managed to snag 4 All-CCIW honors for track in the 800m, DMR, and the 4x400. I'm originally from Roscoe, Illinois and graduated from Harlem High School in Machesney Park, IL where I was the 2018 NIC-10 conference champion in the 800m. Aside from running, I enjoy playing guitar, writing my own music, and I participate in a few music ensembles on campus.
​

What do I love most about Running Wild? I love that Running Wild is always trying to improve as a business and as a staple of the QC running community. It's really fun and exciting to be part of a business that's truly building something.
