Bio

Joel began running during his childhood and continued to improve throughout high school. Eventually, he achieved several personal records that caught the attention of Coach Wilson. The two discussed his potential and what the opportunities could be at Daytona State and Joel ended up committing to DSC.  

Academic Interest/Degree: Interdisciplinary Studies

High School Coach: Coach Shasta Edwards & Coach Debra Richardson 

High School Personal Records

  • 1600 meters: 4:30
  • 3200 meters: 9:30
  • 5K Cross Country: 16:03
  • 5K track: 15:39 

Why did you choose Daytona State: "I chose Daytona State because people that I knew had attended here." 

Coach's Comments: Joel will thrive in this group of runners.  He is a steady runner who can keep pushing the accelerator.  I think he will see that the longer the race, the better he will do.
