#41 "Hold Fast” – Brett Meyer. D-II National Champion 1500. 1st of the “Speed Boys.”
Special Guest
Dr. Scott McNeal (Dr. M) talks with Mr. Brett “Hold Fast” Meyer, former D-II mid-distance track/field student-athlete at Fort Hays State University, KS. Currently, Brett is the Assistant Cross Country/Track and Field Coach (Middle Distance) at Fort Hays State University.
The Scott City, KS native (current population of 4,008) earns six All-American honors in the 800 and 1,500 meters, culminating in a D-II individual national title at 1,500 meters in 2019.
Brett reflects on his professional running, including making a run at the recent 2024 U.S. Olympic Trials. Interestingly, in 2021, Brett breaks Jim Ryun's 53-year-old Kansas indoor mile record at the Washburn Invitational in Topeka, running a time of 3:58.39.
Join Brett as he balances his introverted, quiet, and “I-will-not-miss-a-day” running work ethic self with ongoing and new responsibilities that include: his “Hold Fast Running Camp”; his wife Kelly, who beat him in a 7th-8th grade 4x200 race; his young buck son, Judah, and his Lord who is before all things and holds it all together.
Quips:
“I wanted to quit cross-country every day.”
“Be a man and learn.”
“Hello Kelly.”
“Brett. You’re being a bum. You just run.”
“Running is irrelevant. But priceless.”
Note: He does love Jimmy John's

Correction: D-II champion, not D-I, as referenced once along the way. 2019, not 2029, as referenced once. Can't tell the future. Geeze, need some sleep...and food.
