Despite spending his college years in a county where the tallest building is EIU's Stevenson Hall, Justin Stewart '11 is now one of the highest-ranked competitive stair-climber in the world.
So far in 2012, his first full year of racing, he has placed first in nine races (including Chicago's Hustle Up the Hancock and the 180-floor Presidential Towers event, where he set a new course record) and also took a respectable 17th-place finish in the Empire State Building Run Up.
If Stewart is still among the world's top three stair-climbers in August, he'll earn an all-expenses-paid trip to Columbia for the World Cup Championships.

It has now been almost 2 years since I walked off the campus of EIU in Charleston Illinois and headed into the real world. It has been quite the journey since then, especially athletically.  After my 2012 win at the Hustle Up the Hancock Tower in Chicago IL I got some press time and my efforts even caught the eyes of those at good ole EIU. Here is a nice short article that was on the school website. Check out the link.
