    Parker is undoubtedly one of the greatest NCAA athletes of all-time. 


    She's a 6x NCAA Individual Champion: 2024 NCAA Outdoor Champion (5000m) | 2024 NCAA Outdoor Champion (10,000m) | 2024 NCAA Indoor Champion (5000m) | 2024 NCAA Indoor Champion (3000m) | 2023 NCAA Outdoor Champion (5000m).

    She holds PRs of 8:41 (3k), 14:51 (5k), 30:50 (10k), and 17:59 (6k on grass). 


    Parker owns the NCAA Record for both the indoor and outdoor 5k as well as the 10k. She broke all of those just this year! 


    Parker was named USTFCCCA NCAA Division I Women's Outdoor Track Athlete of the Year and is currently a 2024 The Bowerman Finalist. 


    In today's conversation, Parker takes me through her wildly successful last year, her different NCAA titles, making her first Olympic team, her future, Kombucha, tales from Paris, naming her boat, and more.


    Anytime I get Parker on the podcast, it's a good time. Put in your airpods, lace up your shoes, and hit the pavement with Parker.
