2004 Olympic bronze medalist Deena Kastor gave birth to a baby daughter, Piper Bloom Kastor, on Monday, February 21, 2011. Andrew Kastor, the proud father and husband of Deena, reported on their Facebook page that
“both mom and baby are doing great!”

RBR sends warm wishes to Deena and Andrew and their new baby, Piper Bloom, and wishes them all of the wonders that a new child can bring.

Deena Kastor has been not only at the forefront of the rebirth in American distance running, she has championed it for more than a decade. Andrew is always pleasant to catch up with before and after an event.

Congratulations once again!
