Description
Today on the podcast is the one and only Carrie Tollefson!
Carrie was born and raised in Dawson, Minnesota, where she was a 13-time State Champion: eight in track and five in cross country. Her five cross-country titles established a national record for most consecutive titles, which still stands to this day. Carrie attended Villanova University, where she was a 5-time NCAA Champion and the 1998 NCAA Indoor Track Athlete of the year. She was also the first person in NCAA history to win both the 3K and 5K titles.
In her post-collegiate career, she was a three-time national champion, and after winning the 1500m trials in 2004, she represented the US in the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens, Greece.
Carrie has worked on-camera with ESPN, NBC, NBCSN, ABC, and USATF.tv. She does regular media coverage for the New York Road Runners, including the TCS NYC Marathon and the United Airlines NYC Half Marathon. Carrie has done commentary for several world-class events, including the Medtronic Twin Cities Marathon, Boston Marathon, Tokyo Marathon, and Foot Locker Nationals.
In today's conversation, Carrie walks me through her coverage of the sport, what it's like being in the booth, her incredible athletic career, how she was able to be so successful at every stage of her career, qualities of the most successful athletes, and so much more!
I loved this one; it was a really fun discussion, and I'm confident you'll thoroughly enjoy and find value in it!
