Alex Van Halen’s Son, Aric Van Halen Is A Steeplechaser
Aric Van Halen’s potential talent turned into his real ability and strength. He is a steeplechase runner and has run in different competitions. For instance, he ran in the men’s 3000-meter steeplechase at the US Track and Field Championships in Sacramento, Calif, in 2017. He made it to the Olympic trials in 2016 and it was a huge accomplishment in his career. Alex Van Halen, as well as Kelly Van Halen, must be very proud of their son despite the divorce.
Aric’s interest in becoming a runner was not his first choice. He caught his gym teacher’s attention after running a 6:05 mile for a fitness test. In the spring, it was a dilemma for Aric to decide whether or not to run track or go for the baseball team. According to Running Magazine, he said,
“I decided to try out for the baseball team and halfway through tryouts I realized the love of the game wasn’t there anymore. So I informed the baseball coach at the end of the day that I wouldn’t be back the next day and I would be doing track. Twelve years later I’m still running track.”
As of now, Aric’s best steeplechase time was 8:32.92 in 2014. In contrast, Evan Jager, the Olympic silver medalist, has a lifetime best of 8:00.45. The athlete is well-focused in his career and wants to prove the world as the best. Probably, we will see Aric, kissing the Olympic gold medal for his country in a few years.
