Emily Sanderson

Emily Sanderson is a real role model to her students and truly “goes the distance” for her Young Runners. She travels from Brooklyn to make 6 am practice in the Bronx several days a week, and many weekends she travels to the Bronx to pick up her students, to Manhattan for a race, back to the Bronx to drop her students off, and finally back to Brooklyn. A Young Runners coach at PS 246 for five years, Emily is extremely devoted to her students. She is also a speedy runner herself and has served as a Team for Kids coach, working with adult runners who are fund-raising to give money back to her students and others.
