PAIGE’S STORY
Paige was born and raised in the tiny town of Pottsville, Penn., two hours outside of Philadelphia. At Pottsville Area High School she was a member of the National Honor Society as well as a school record holder and league champion in cross country and track and field. 

PRO STATS
After graduating from Syracuse, Paige joined the Reebok Boston Track Club in the summer of 2019. She saw a tremendous amount of success in her first three years as a professional, running personal bests at 3,000 meters (9:01.36), 5,000 meters (15:16.17), and 10,000 meters (31:22.55). In December of 2020 she finished seventh at The Marathon Project where her 2:28:43 was the fastest marathon ever by a U.S. woman under the age of 25. In December of 2022, she continued her upward trajectory in a big way when she won the USATF Marathon Championships in 2:26:02. She joined HOKA NAZ Elite in January of 2023. Her first race as a member of the team was the USATF Half Marathon Championships where she finished sixth. There were no more races the rest of the year, however, as she gave birth to her first child, Nolan, on November 29.

Paige’s postpartum return to racing in 2024 included wins at the Ferguson Twilight Run 10k (May) and the Wyoming Valley Run 10 Mile (September) as well as solid runs at the Boilermaker 15k and the Wharf to Wharf 6 mile in July.

Paige began her career at Lipscomb University where she was runner-up at the ASUN Cross Country Championships as a freshman. She transferred to Syracuse University the following year where she would go on to become one of the best distance runners in school history. She was a four-time NCAA All American, a five-time Atlantic Coast Conference champion, and left as the school record holder in the 3,000 meter steeplechase, the 5,000 meters, and the 10,000 meters.
