Weems McFadden started running at Annapolis High School in 1972 and enjoyed competing from the start. After high school, he attended UMBC where he ran cross country, indoor, and outdoor track all four years. His favorite college track distance was the half mile, but he participated in other events as well. Weems stopped running in 1980 and didn’t pick it back up until the summer of 2004. His plan going forward is to run mostly 10K, 10M and half marathon races. Eventually, when his times begin to get slower, he intends to move up to the marathon distance.
