Nico Young Reflects On Placing 3rd At NCAAs & Preparing For USAs

“I think it’s the best environment there is. We have an amazing team dynamic going on that I think has helped raise everyone to the next level. It’s not just that we push each other in practice, but we care about each other as human beings outside of practice.”

Nico Young is back for his second appearance on the podcast! In today’s episode, we recap what the past few months have been like for Nico after a very successful indoor season. We go through running the third-fastest time ever in the NCAA 5k (he ran 13:11), qualifying for his first NCAA outdoor championships, and then ultimately what it was like to place third in those championships. We also go into Nico’s preparation, mindset, and more going into his second-ever US championships. Lastly, we answer your unique listener questions.
