Matthew Chorney
Matthew has always loved running. His father was a avid runner, and a coach for both the track and cross country teams. He introduced both Matthew and his older brother into the sport as kids. The brothers continue to run post-collegiately in friendly (& fierce) competitions. Matt has now lived in Jackson for 8 years, and coaches track and field & cross country at the high school. Also, he is the director of operations at Momentous (a sports nutrition company founded 3 years ago in Jackson). A personal running goal for his running season is to give the Olympic marathon trials standard a shot (2:19:00) at the Chicago Marathon in October.
