PERSONAL: Plans on pursuing a Masters in education in Sport & Exercise Science... Son of Barbara Lepine... Has one sibling, Courtney... Lists South Park as favorite show, loves dogs and enjoys football and basketball outside of running.
Why Lepine chose Minnesota: "Coach Wick got back to me quickly and gave me a chance to prove myself even though I didn’t have a lot of great racing performances in the past. He was incredibly helpful, even giving me advice after every race whether it was good or bad. We built a great relationship based on more than just running and even got a chance to meet in-person at Raleigh Relays. I briefly met Coach Hopkins there as well who was awesome. It gave me an insight into the culture of the team, which Coach Wick had emphasized to me was great. I couldn’t be more excited to join the team in Minneapolis and get to work."
