I came to America as international student athlete months after graduating high school not fit, took 1.5 years to be competitive again. Am grateful for the opportunity, I think taking developed professional athletes most in mid 20s+ is a disservice to what NCAA sports represents
.@run4okstate head coach Dave Smith and @CycloneTrackXC head coach Jeremy Sudbury respond to BYU head coach Ed Eyestone’s comments regarding international athletes in the NCAA in a Deseret News article from yesterday: 🗣️ “If someone doesn’t like a rule, or doesn’t like a situation in the NCAA, don’t b**** about it, go change it.”

My summer training rule: The first 2-3 weeks, every run will feel horrible. You’ll wonder how you can manage the heat. If you just get the time in, ignoring pace…after a few weeks you’ll wake up & magically feel better. Not perfect but that it’s not that bad most days.

🗣️ “I’ve got a job loading trucks at UPS right now. I’m getting off at four o’clock in the morning during weekdays. My goal was to come out here and make some money so I can go back home, focus on training, and not put my body through all that.” A runner-up finish in the @GrandSlamTrack long sprints event group means $50,000 in Jacory Patterson’s pocket! Patterson has been working full-time at UPS to support himself… But not for much longer! 🎥 Full interview: youtu.be/QJ4AhRONMjk

if we want to Make America Healthy Again, shouldn't we build affordable housing in mixed use, walkable neighborhoods so ppl can incorporate walking into their daily lives instead of find the time and discipline to go to the gym?
