824. Nikki Hiltz on Competing at USA Track & Field Outdoor National Championships
"It feels really good — and it's a lot of pressure at the same time... I do have a target on my back, but that's fine."
Happy USA Track & Field Outdoor Championships! Today, eight-time National Champion (and fan favorite!) Nikki Hiltz will compete in the first round of the 1500m, hoping to advance to the Final and, ultimately, earn a spot on Team USA for World Championships in Tokyo. In this conversation, recorded the night before the meet, Nikki talks about how they're feeling heading into the first round and what the energy is like in Eugene, OR, right now.
