Float On
Reid Coolsaet has been running cross-country ever since the sixth grade and hasn’t missed a single season, although he's had to call two seasons short due to injury. For the past six years he's been trying to climb his way up through the professional ranks where this past summer he placed 25th at the World Championships marathon in Berlin.
