Today on the podcast is the one and only Sam McDonnell. 

She holds PRs of 2:08 (800m), 4:38 (Mile) 10:12 (3200m), 16:43 (XC). She was an All-American for cross country my senior year of high school and was a part of the 4x1600 National Record Squad. Sam then went on to Alabama her freshman year before transferring to UCLA and ultimately ending up at The University of Oregon, where she currently resides. 

In today's conversation, Sam goes through her running journey, running for Newbury Park & Sean Brosnan, her years in the NCAA and the transfer process, being coached by Shalane Flanagan, her goals in the NCAA, and her thoughts on Connor Burns & Simeon Birnbaum. 

This discussion is both light + insightful: the perfect combo for a great podcast.
