Diversity & Active Inclusion Panel Discussion - Episode 119

Thursday May 26, 2022

We all should by now recognize our sport needs more diversity, but how do we go about, what Maria Borowick refers to as active inclusion? We don't have all the answers, but each of us hopes this conversation can start to bring about some ideas that can start to open the door for people of color to be more a part of trail running!

Allison Mercer 4th Overall & 2nd Female behind Camille Herron at Strolling Jim - Episode 118

Thursday May 19, 2022

Allison Mercer is an amazing woman as you'll hear in this podcast, not only did she earn a Gold Shirt by running Sub-5 Hours (4:56:32), becoming only the 3rd woman to do so, but she discusses a well deserved change in our sport. We talked more about things she is passionate about than her actual race, and for this, I came away with some new thoughts and ideas. I hope you will as well!

Induction into Section IX Hall of Fame - Episode 116

Thursday May 05, 2022

Section IX is the region in which I competed in High School in New York. On Sunday, May 1, 2022, I was inducted into the Track & Field Hall of Fame. The introduction is by my Middletown High School Cross Country Coach, Martin Harnick. Audio isn't the best, my apologies (probably for the best as I was nervous!).
