Butch Reynolds is a former elite 400‐meter runner whose achievements on the track have left an enduring mark on the sport. He represented the United States at the 1988 and 1996 Olympic Games—winning a silver medal in the 400 meters and a gold medal in the 4×400‑meter relay in 1988. At the World Championships, Reynolds helped secure three gold medals in the 4×400‑meter relay (1987, 1993, and 1995) while also earning individual medals—a bronze in 1987, silver medals in 1993 and 1995, and a gold in the 400 at the 1993 World Indoor Championships. In August 1988, Reynolds set a world record in the 400 meters with a time of 43.29 seconds, a record that stood for more than 11 years and surpassed Lee Evans’ mark from the 1968 Mexico City Olympics. In 1990, however, he faced suspension by the IAAF over allegations of drug use. Reynolds engaged in a lengthy legal battle—including a case that reached the U.S. Supreme Court, which ultimately declared him eligible for the 1992 Olympic Trials. Although he made the relay team for the 1992 Games, the IAAF barred him from competing, and a later libel suit he won in U.S. courts was eventually overturned on appeal. A graduate of Ohio State University, Reynolds set a school and meet record of 44.10 seconds in the 400 meters at the Jesse Owens Invitational. He also contributed his expertise as a trainer and speed coach for the Ohio State Buckeyes football team during the 2005–2006 seasons under Head Coach Jim Tressel, helping the team advance to the National Championship game. Today, Reynolds remains a dynamic force in the athletic community. He passionately advocates for fair treatment of athletes, mentors competitors to reach their peak performance, and leads his foundation, Butch Reynolds Care for Kids, which is devoted to empowering youth. All the while, he continues his determined battle to vindicate his name from the tainted testing allegations.

www.janthonysisto.com Originally from Denver, Colorado, he attended Regis Jesuit High School and Regis University. From a young age, he harbored a passion for storytelling, crafting short stories, and dreaming of writing a novel. His time in the United States Navy, where he served as a missile technician aboard the USS Lafayette (SSBN 616), stationed in New London, Connecticut, and Virginia Beach, Virginia, played a key role in shaping some of the complex characters and themes in his writing. Now based in Tucson, Arizona, with his wife, Sisto has also been a dedicated volunteer volleyball coach at the YMCA and various other organizations. Beyond his military service and coaching, he has actively contributed to community service projects, earning respect and recognition among his peers for his commitment to his craft and community. Sisto's military experiences have instilled a deep sense of discipline and resilience, which is reflected in his writing. Drawing from his life journey, his novels often explore themes of courage, loyalty, and the complexities of human nature. The inspiration for his novel Slave Trade came unexpectedly when Sisto saw a highway sign warning of a white van suspected of human trafficking. The weight of the topic led him to conduct extensive research, which was at times overwhelming, but ultimately, he was proud to see the novel through to publication. J. Anthony Sisto is working on his next novel, a thrilling adventure shaped by his time in the Navy and vivid imagination.

Hello! My name is Marcella. I am a married mom of two teenage girls (15 and 17 years old - I know, please check on me). We live in Long Island, New York and are a huge lacrosse family! If anyone is looking for me I’m either in a boardroom or on a lacrosse field. I have been in Finance for 30+ years. It’s been quite a ride. From my humble beginnings on Wall Street to becoming the Finance Director of one of the biggest and most prestigious Publishing Houses in the world, Conde Nast (Vogue, The New Yorker, Vanity Fair). 40, 50, 60 hour weeks, trying to climb the corporate ladder and pushing through - no matter what it took (if you have seen The Devil Wears Prada then you know what I’m talking about). My goal in life is the never ending search for work / life balance. I evolve everyday trying to find new ways to do it all. Work, life, repeat! Work, life, repeat! I crashed and burned back in 2022 when I quit my high paying Corporate Finance job and took a year off. The money didn't matter anymore, my mental and physical health were at an all time low. It was a dark time on so many levels. I have been working to rebuild myself ever since. I continue to use the tools I have implemented to get myself out of bed and back into life. Small steps led to long term happiness and success. Nothing worth doing is easy and it certainly doesn’t happen overnight. I want to share my story with other women regarding the Myth of “having it all”. Instead of putting more on our plates, we need to remove the non-essentials. Women need to start saying no, start asking for help and find time for rest, without guilt. It’s possible because I’m proof of it. It’s an important discussion that needs to be had. Stress has become the new baseline and burnout has become the new norm. Burnout is not a badge of honor, it's actually a dangerous place for us to be. It's time to talk.
