Meet the Princeton Running Company

Brian Harris, Store Manager

Brian has worked for the Running Company since May of 2004, and has now worked in six of our stores.  With this vast experience and a general helpful nature, he  will make sure your visit to Princeton Running Company is informative and enjoyable.  Brian is the proud father of a two year old daughter, Lucy, so ask him any question about the BOB stroller (don't put your coffee in the handlebar console) and he can give you an answer based on first-hand experience (they are awesome!).  Brian has been a runner for nearly a quarter of a century and has finished eight marathons.  He some day hopes to compete in an ultra marathon or two....we'll see.

Georgi Anker, Sales Associate

Georgi, pictured left with her baby brother Chris (also an avid runner), has been with the Running Company since August of 2006. Georgi competes in lots of local road races, and she has not tripped over her size 11 feet since the June Fete race in (2007). That fall only took four butterfly bandages, continual icing and three weeks of rest to recover. While having run many marathons, sadly, no world records broken here!

She likes to spend her free time running with her lovely daughter Selena, and driving her boys to hockey practice, games and tournaments. Other interests for Georgi include cooking, laughing, smiling and generally lightening the mood at the store.

Selena Anker, Sales Associate

 Selena, pictured on vacation with her mom and fellow PRC’er Georgi, is a student at TCNJ. She plans to run her first full marathon this Spring, though certain employees are hedging bets on whether her CrossFit kettlebell will kill her before that time (uncoordinated flailing limbs…think Bambi on ice). A cooking and baking enthusiast (move over House of Cupcakes), Selena is considering opening her own restaurant someday. The in-store Yoda impersonator reflects: “Mmmmhhmmm aged for your years you are.” Selena knows French and is fluent in English with an accent of sarcasm, if you know what I mean. In all honesty, Selena is incredibly active and athletic, and can fit you for shoes or create a killer workout for you – your choice.

Lisa Pettit, Sales Associate

Brian Leung, Sales Associate

Brian Leung, a graduate of WWP South, is a current member of the Princeton University Cross Country and Track and Field Teams. He enjoys studying political economy, eating sushi, and fitting people with the perfect shoe. Brian has been a member of our staff since 2008, and he enjoys fastest employee of the store status.

Stephen Mennitt, Sales Associate

Stephen has been working at the Running Company since September of 2007. He is currently a senior at Rowan University, where he studies Health & Exercise Science. Stephen is always up for talking about shoes, but his favorite product is the Trigger Point massage kit.  Steve runs fast even though he has re-written the Encyclopedia of Sports Injuries (NJ edition) through personal experience.

Meghan Bruce, Sales Associate

Meghan has worked at The Running Company since September 2010. A Health and Exercise Science major at The College of New Jersey, she hopes to become a physical therapist and enjoys talking to runners about injury prevention and recovery, as well as local trails. In her opinion, the best runs involve traversing rivers, getting overed in mud, and getting lost in the woods. Meghan co-edited the aforementioned Encyclopedia of Sports Injuries, and never takes running for granted. Her favorite places to run are the Wissahickon Creek near Philadelphia and Washington Crossing State Park, and her favorite running "toy" is The Stick. 

Aleks Erin, Sales Associate

Aleks came to us after graduating from TCNJ.  He is currently studying Physical Therapy and training for his showdown with the World's Fastest Man.

Will Munoz, Sales Associate

A West Windsor North and self-proclaimed TCNJ graduate (the latter is fuzzy, but he claims to be done with his thesis and insists the whole graduation thing is a formality) Will is the staff intellectual (sort of like Leaping Lanny Poffo from the World Wrestling Federation circa 1993). Will is a smart guy....REALLY, he is.  He has worked at the Princeton Running Company dating back to 2007 (with a brief hiatus to train Piranha in the Amazon jungles of Brazil in 2008) and offers a wealth of running knowledge.  Additionally, he can help prep you for the LSAT if you are interested in pursuing law as a profession.

Ariel Frost

Ari is a recent graduate of Princeton University. She can usually be found on Lake Carnegie training for a coxwain position on the USA Rowing Team. When she's not out on the water yelling at rowers, Ari runs. She runs a LOT. What she lacks in height she makes up for in energy (which might be due to her daily gallon of coffee.) Aside from her running experience and product knowledge, Ari has one other outstanding quality- she's a "stress-cleaner." That suits Brian just fine because according to him "cleaning is for squares."
