With this post, our very own world-class runner, who grew up in Newark, Del., is officially recognized as a Creek Road Runner.

In 2018, he became the first Delaware native to break the coveted 4-minute mark in the mile run.

Past posts have highlighted his rise to the international stage.

Parsons is the son of Newark residents CRR George Parsons and CRR Christina Parsons.
