Lexy Arrigo

President

Hi!! My name is Lexy, and I will be serving as both your President and Social Media Coordinator this semester! I am a junior Biology major and this is my third year with the team. Hobbies include stravaing, eating scooby snacks, and using the word silly. My favorite thing about running in Pittsburgh is getting to run across bridges (it will never not be cool) and exploring the city on foot. I am excited to meet new people and to social media coordinate the CRAP (Club Running at Pitt) out of this team!!

Maddie Hoffman

treasurer

Hello everyone!! I’m Madelyn Hoffman, this year’s club running treasurer. I’m a senior majoring in Computational Biology. A little bit about me: my navigation skills are spot on (aka my phone is dead 75% of the time, and I like to solo adventure). My high school self would hate to admit this, but I am a converted Swiftie. I’m from South of Buffalo, better described as the NY extension of Pennsyltucky. I love hiking despite being incredibly clumsy. Current hyper fixation food: sweet potatoes. Fav race distance: half marathon. Fav PGH running route: Smithfield. Proudest running accomplishment: training my incredibly cute dog to run 5+ miles (we’re still working on the squirrel obsession thing). This is my third year running with the club, and I’m really looking forward to a fun year with y’all!

Nolan Pernia

race coordinator

Hey guys, my name is Nolan Pernia and I will be your race coordinator this year. I am a Mechanical Engineer with a minor in English Literature and joined the club two years ago. Besides running and school I spend lots of time with my dog J and reading miscellaneous books. While I originally joined the club with the primary focus of racing, I have since made many friends and have been welcomed with open arms to the team. This year I hope to have some competitive and fun races for all and welcome runners of all experience levels to enjoy the sport and compete if they wish.

Drew Whiteside

Travel coordinator

Hey guys, my name is Drew and I'm your travel coordinator. I'm a senior Information Science major. For people interested in meets, I'll be helping us coordinate the carpools to all of them! This club helped re-spark my love for running after high school - from 8ks in the fall to marathons in the spring.
When I'm not running you can find me coding random stuff, organizing my obscure music collection, or looking for new Docu-drama miniseries to watch. In the spring you'll find me in the Oakland Zoo cheering on Pitt Basketball. Excited for a great year with you all!

Addison Mueller

co-fundraising chair

Hello, I’m Addison Mueller one of your co fundraising chairs. I’m a senior majoring in materials science and engineering, and I am from Maryland. When I’m not running or studying, you can find me reading, playing pickleball, or climbing. I have been running with the club since my freshman year and my favorite club memory is probably DJing at fall formal. I’m excited for another year raising those funds and hanging out with the club running homies, oh and some running.
