UNC T&F coach Dylan Sorensen Running for positive change and a world record

Posted Nov 14, 2020
The first time was a bit of a fluke, a way to celebrate a landmark birthday. This time, Dylan Sorensen is running with a plan and a cause. Sorensen, an assistant track & field coach at North Carolina, broke the world record for running a mile while dribbling a basketball in May, on his 30th birthday. Six months later, Sorensen is running to regain the record. (GoHeels.com)
