DERRICK LLOYD
Hometown: Laguna Niguel, CA
Background: Started running as a freshman in high school and loved it. Got to compete in the state meet my senior year with my team and we got 1st in CA and 6th in the nation. I tried tried walking onto UCLA's team but they were a tad too fast for me. Not making the team did not change my love for running. When I moved down to SD for work, I continued to run which eventually led to joining PRT.

What I Like to Do Besides Running: Travel the world, been to 20 countries so far. I am a massive electronic music fan, and love going to raves/music festivals and club events, and I have luckily been able to combine this with the love of travel and have been to events all over the world. I am also very interested in real estate, and have rehabbed and rented out houses that I have never seen.
