Matt Sheeks

Endurance sports junkie Matt Sheeks grew up in the bicycle racing world, riding the road and track in high school. He transitioned to distance running in college, and ran under Coach Rob Conner at the University of Portland. The Portland Pilots were 9th in the 2005 Division 1 National-Cross Country Championships when Matt was on the varsity team. His PRs on the track are 3:50 for 1500m, 14:04 for 5000m, and 29:14 for 10000m. Now he is combining his two greatest sporting passions, running and cycling, while adding swimming. He lives and trains in beautiful sunny Woodinville, Washington. Matt works for Athletes in Action at University of Washington, a Christian sports ministry helping athletes to grow in their faith.
