Corey Melnick • 2011

Vergennes, VT (Vergennes High School)
Mechanical Engineering

With the exception of Coach Barron, Corey Melnick is the lone Vermonter on this Tufts squad and he does his state proud. Corey has recently made the jump from the mid-d squad to the longer distances. As with anyone who makes this jump, it can take almost a full year for the mileage to take hold. As a result, look for Corey to drop some serious PRs in the 3k and 5k this winter and spring. Corey's work ethic and dedication has been a great role model for his teammates over his career at Tufts.

Interests: skiing
music
generally all things Vermonty (maple syrup, snowshoeing, leaf-peeping)

Why Tufts: You can't just put me on the spot for a reason here.
