Rahul Ramineni
Vice President
Yello, my name is Rahul I am a CS major from Atlanta, Georgia. I started running in high school with cross country as a fun way to meet people, now it’s grown into one of the biggest passions of my life other than Film and Music and I am going to keep running until I’ve satisfied my goals in the mile, 5k, 10k, and marathon. My goal is to not have to introduce myself when I go to a race. Fun fact: I like fries and Milkshake
Jonathan Porras
Secretary
Hello everyone, I’m a junior Econ Major from El Paso TX, though I grew up in Houston. I’ve been running since middle school and continue my running career through TRC. Apart from running, I also enjoy other activities such as soccer and Frisbee. My running goals for this year are to be in tip-top shape for Nirca and run some fast races in the spring. Fun fact about me, I love pets.
Mirya Dila
Historian
Hi everyone! My name is Mirya and I’m a Journalism senior from Katy (barf) TX!! I was a cross country and track girly all through high school but truly grew to love running when I got to college and joined TRC. I’m training for the Houston marathon this year and will *hopefully* emerge injury free . Outside of running, you may catch me tweak swimming at Greg at ungodly hours, or biking aimlessly around Austin (I get lost easily! Do not ask me for route directions!). My fun fact is that I like to eat lemons and limes, including the rinds!
Netta Blinchevsky
Volunteer Chair
Hii my name is Netta and I’m a sophomore neuroscience major. Before coming to college, I had little running experience but swam competitively in high school. My freshman year, I joined TRC and it’s been the best decision I’ve made since joining college. I looove Barton runs, apartment hops, and close friendships made while chatting on seemingly mundane routes. Looking forward to more experiences through TRC! Fun fact: I speak Russian
Peyton Hilfinger
Social Chair
Hey guys! My name’s Peyton, a junior exercise science major from Richmond, TX, and I’ll be your 24-25 Social Chair! A little about me and my experience with running, I played soccer for most of my life but really started getting into running in my middle and high school years. Since then, I’ve joined TRC and can really say it was one of the best decisions of my life! My goals with running right now are to remain injury-free after a long bout of runner’s knee and to get my fitness back up! Other than running, I love reading, being outdoors, and having a little too much fun at the TRC apartment hops (hehe).  Fun Fact: I used to be insanely good at Jenga and Connect Four
Josh Moore
Treasurer
Hey y’all! I’m a senior mathematics major from Cedar Park, TX. I started running during the pandemic and haven’t stopped since. I’ve always played tennis, but I picked up running just to be outside and get some exercise. I’ve grown to love this sport and all the friends that I have made since joining TRC. My goal this year is to break my half-marathon time and potentially run the Houston Marathon. Fun fact: I’m obsessed with making pizza

Micallie Miller
Track Coach
Hello! My name is Micallie Miller and I am a senior exercise science major with a specialization in medical rehab and rehabilitation. Before moving to Austin for college, I grew up in Kingsland TX. I started running with a club in HS and still do, kudos to TRC 🙂 Outside of running, I enjoy anything active and outdoors, baking bread, and being a barista!
Patrick Munson
Track Coach

Hey y’all! My name is Patrick and I’ll be the middle and long distance coach this year. I’m a fourth-year civil engineering major. I grew up in Houston but call Austin my home. I’ve raced everything from an 800m to a 50k, but I’m currently having tons of fun with the marathon. My goal is to create a place where anyone can have the opportunity to be coached in their running goals, whatever they may be.

Vivian Garcia
Running Captain
Hi guys! My name is Vivian and I am currently a sophomore Communication and Leadership major from “Houston”, TX! I will be one of the running captains for this school year. I have been running for as long as I can remember and wouldn’t have it any other way. Being a new student last year at a big school was intimidating, but I truly believe joining TRC helped ease me into it with all the support I needed (& more). My current goal is to finish the Austin Marathon with some of my favorite TRC friends! My other hobbies include reading, being with my friends and snuggling with my cat. Can’t wait to see you at a run soon!
Kristen Garsaud
Running Captain

Hi! My name is Kristen, and I’m a junior biochemistry major from Euless, Texas (DFW area).  I ran 100 and 300 hurdles throughout middle school and my first two years of high school. I started running longer distances going into my freshman year and now I’ve been in trc for 3 years! This semester I hope to improve my 5k time and continue to meet new people! Fun fact: I love cosmic crisp apples and eat one for breakfast every day.

JP Lipari
Running Captain
Hey! I’m JP, and I am psyched to be a running captain this year. I am a senior civil engineering major. I am from Flower Mound, Texas where I got into running right after 4 years of football in high school. Since then I’ve fell in love with the marathon, currently training for Richmond, and of course all the craziness that comes with TRC.
