One thing is for sure, Liam McCullough loves track. But to be honest, he loves food more. Not only does Liam run Cross Country in the fall, but track season is on his radar too. He decided to compete in track because he thinks that will enhance his cross country skills and of course his personal best. You know what he really loves to do at track meets? RUN? Nah…..He loves to hit the concessions stands hard. Good thing he runs because those calories will add up! Good luck working them off Liam! LOL

Since Liam has already made a grand introduction with his love for concession stand food, Journalism has decided to do a track spotlight on him!
