Description
Today on "The Call Room: Road To Seattle" is the most underrated boy in the country, Riley Smith.
Y'all ask, we deliver. After months of requests to get this guy on, we're making it happen.
I'm going to be honest, I hadn't heard Riley's name until a few months ago, but already in the first few weeks of the track season, he's made a name for himself and is looking to shock some people in the months to come.
He's undefeated this indoor and outdoor season and is looking to continue that streak.
His progress in the sport has been monumental. His best 5k his junior year of HS was 17:52, not even qualifying for the state meet. A year later, he won the whole thing and ran 14:57.
So far this season, Riley has run 8:39 in the 3200m and 1:50 in the 800m. The scary thing is that 3200m was Riley's second-ever attempt at a distance. As you'll hear in our conversation today, Riley knows he can go sub 8:30 this year.
Riley will be going to his first Brooks PR Meet in 2024 and is currently deciding between the Mile/2-Mile. Whichever event he chooses, he's looking to surprise some people and turn some heads.
In today's conversation, Riley shares his remarkable story in sport, how he's gotten good so fast, being the underdog, letting the doubters fuel him, his ambitions for his final year of HS, what he wants to do at Brooks, some of his most insane workouts, and much more!
This is an awesome opportunity to look into the mind of a kid who's name you'll hear a lot of in the months and years to come.
Tap into the Riley Smith Special.
