Autumn Sands

Driven by a high school soccer-to-track transition, Autumn earned a spot on the Division 1 Cross Country and Track teams at Lafayette College. During her freshman year, she contributed to a school record-breaking DMR and achieved runner-up in the Patriot League 5k. After battling injuries and the COVID pandemic, Autumn returned strong in her senior year, setting three school records in the indoor 3k, indoor 5k, and outdoor 5k. Continuing her athletic journey at the University of Delaware during her master’s studies, she achieved personal records in the mile and 3k, and placed third in the CAA indoor 5k. Now, as an ORISE fellow at the EPA in DC, Autumn aims to break 1:20 in the half marathon, run a sub 2:50 marathon, and achieve a 10k track PR.
