BIO

A Jersey native, Haz joined EE in 2021 after graduating from the University of Maryland where he specialized in the 800m and was a regular fixture on their relay squads. Since arriving in Westchester County, we’ve watched Haz find his feet with a strength-based training model, whilst still tapping into his 400m-runner wheels with his silky-smooth form and signature necklace on speed days.

In 2023, Haz officially began the process of becoming an Egyptian citizen - the country of his parents birth - winning the Egyptian trials over 800m to qualify for the Arabic Athletics Championships and the Arab Games. However, administration issues prevented him from competing for his country for the first time.

Not deterred, he qualified for his first USATF Outdoor Championship in July 2023 where he put together a savvy race to take his PB down to 1:47.66. This was the first time he had run below 1:48 and was nearly a second faster than his previous best.
