Since moving to Flagstaff Trent is regaining some of his previous form. He has ran his second fastest marathon ever in wet and blustery conditions in the fall of 2008 and has started off 2009 with a PR in the half-marathon. Focusing on the shorter than marathon distances this spring look to see Trent mix it up on the track and roads in the first half of the year.

Best known for 2004 Olympic Marathon Trials race were he, largely an unknown, placed 4th in an Olympic A standard of 2:12:34, and became an Olympic Team Alternate while also qualifying for the 2005 World Championships. He had a breakthrough performance that day in Birmingham, Alabama with a large improvement from a previous personal best of 2:21:10. He believes in group training and previously spent 6 years with the Hanson's-Brooks Distance Project in Michigan during which he set 5k and 10k PR's in 2004 and 2005. He has had some ups and downs since and had achilles surgery in May of 2006 in order to continue to train at an optimal level. He has been rebuilding his fitness and muscular strength since. He ran in the 2008 Marathon Trials in November of 2007 and early in 2008 moved to Flagstaff to continue to relaunch a running career with the help of Greg McMillian and the Adidas team in the familiar mountain scenery from his college and high school running days in Colorado.
