THE BROOKS BLOG

After a breakthrough senior season at the University of Portland–which included two All-American honors, two school records, and a berth in the U.S. Olympic Team Trials–Michael Kilburg made the move to Michigan last month to join the Hansons-Brooks (powered by Saturn) Distance Project.

The Seattle native earned All-American honors in the 5,000 meters at the NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championships (6th), and at the Outdoor Championhips in the 10,000 meters (12th). In qualifying for the 2008 U.S. Olympic Team Trials, he posted the 16th fastest qualifying time–running a school record 28:20.57 at the Stanford Invitational this spring. Portland coach Rob Conner called the record setting run “the greatest race in [U of Portland] Pilot history” in an interview with the Oregonian. His 5,000 meter personal best of 13:49.88 is also a U of Portland school record.

While accruing accolades on the track, Kilburg maintained a 3.22 grade point average as a physics major–earning the title of 2008 U of Portland Student-Athlete of the Year.

Who doesn’t need at least one of those? And what’s it called?

The Brooks EZ T!

Don’t just take my word for it (though I do own four of them). The Brooks EZ-T was featured in the latest Women’s Adventure Newsletter, and the reviewer raved,

“I think I’ve found the most comfortable t-shirt on the planet. The photos don’t do the fit justice either….using a stretchy soft fabric that has the sheen and soft hand of cotton without sacrificing a form-flattering fit….It dries fast and it’s light, so it’s technical enough to run in or to wear out for a post-cycling margarita…”

The EZ T is available in several styles and colors, for men and women. A sampling is shown below…now go check out this shirt!
