AmericanStudies: February 8-9, 2025: Inspiring Sports Stories: Aidan and Kyle Railton

[For this
year’s Super Bowl series, I wanted to highlight inspiring American sports stories
and figures, past and present. Leading up to a special pre-Valentine’s tribute
to my two favorite American athletes!]

I could
write about my sons in every post and ad nauseum (probably literally for y’all,
but #sorrynotsorry), but here I’ll restrain myself and just a highlight a few
of the many reasons why I’m so proud of their athletic accomplishments:

1)     
Aidan’s
Guest Post on Strava and social media in running;

2)     
Kyle’s current role as an Indoor
Track captain;

3)     
Aidan’s blossoming connection to the Vanderbilt
University Running Club, for which he’s already a leader as a freshman;

4)     
And Kyle’s commitment to mentoring and teaching younger runners, the subject
of one of his phenomenal college application essays.

Valentine’s
series starts Monday,

Ben
