Tristan is a senior from Northern Ireland and a member of the men's cross country team. During this conversation, Tristan takes us through his Catholic upbringing and how he found a personal relationship with Christ through his teammates, coach, and his local church.

Tristan shares his story with honesty, humility, and great passion. He is currently in his final season as a cross country athlete and not sure what will happen after graduation in May of 2025, but he knows the Lord has a really good plan for his life and he trusts He will reveal that to him in just the right time.
