    Today on the podcast, I have the great privilege of speaking with newly minted NCAA Record Holder Dylan Jacobs. Just last week, Dylan set an American collegiate indoor record in the 5,000-meter run, running 13:11.01. Dylan competes for the University of Tennessee, where he has cemented himself as one of the top runners in the nation. Prior to his time at Tennessee, Dylan won the 2022 NCAA Men's 10k title while competing for the University of Notre Dame. Before the NCAA, Dylan won the 2017 Footlocker Nationals Cross Country Championship. 


    In this conversation, Dylan and I dive deep into his upbringing in this sport all the way up to dissecting his incredible 13:11 record-breaking performance. Dylan was a ton of fun to talk to, and I left the conversation both enlightened and inspired. I was fascinated by Dylan's work ethic and mindset, that has led to his dominance in the NCAA. We also talk about some fun subjects like college football, living in the mountains, and answer some fun listener questions. Dylan and I had a ton of fun discussing a plethora of topics, and hope you will tune in to listen to our conversation!
