Grant Fisher: Alive and Well

Published by David Kiefer/Stanford SID on September 10, 2015

Grant Fisher arrived at Stanford on August 27 with an accomplishment unprecedented in high school running – no one else has won two Foot Locker national cross country championships and run a sub-4 mile.

Now he’s just another freshman. 

The No.2 Stanford men open Friday at the Fresno State Invitational, but Fisher is not likely to race, Coach Chris Miltenberg, Stanford’s Bradford M. Freeman Director of Track and Field, is bringing the Grand Blanc, Michigan, native along slowly as the freshman adjusts to the longer collegiate racing distances of 8K and 10K. He will be the only scholarship freshman competing for Stanford this year. Teammates Alex Ostberg and Will Lauer will redshirt.

The day before Fisher and the Cardinal left for 10 days of altitude training at Mammoth Lakes, Fisher talked about the next stage of his running career.

Q: Classes don’t start until Sept. 23, but you’re officially at college. What are your first impressions?
A:  It’s starting to feel real. I was talking to the other freshmen about this -- we were focusing so much on getting to campus and being with the team that when it finally happened, it wasn’t real. It was like we were dreaming or something. 

I really like the team and how they operate. I got a taste of that on my visit, but I didn’t really realize the inner workings of everything until now. We’ve had our first college workouts and they’ve been smooth. It’s been a good transition.
