He grew up in Aberdeen Township, New Jersey, where he attended Matawan Regional High School.[1] He graduated from Columbia University.[2] One of the most decorated athletes in recent Columbia University history, Hurtault was inducted into the Athletics Hall of Fame in 2012. He competed in the Olympic 400 metres event.
