WHAT HE’S DONE:
Heck placed first in the 400-meter dash and second in the 200 last weekend.

“My favorite moments have not been on the track, but with the team itself. I can count anybody on the team as one of my closest friends.”

WHAT HE WANTS TO DO:
“To place better than we did last year [at Championships] and get as many people as possible medaling.”

TV CHARACTER HE’D MOST WANT TO BE LIKE:
“‘This question is really difficult because I tend to prefer shows with unsympathetic protagonists. I would have to say Joshua Lyman from ‘The West Wing.’”
