Today on the podcast is the one and only Patrick Koon!

If you're not familiar with Patrick, he has been on an absolute tear over the past few years. He holds PRs of 8:44.95 (3200m), 14:11.92 (5k), and 4:14.3 (Mile). He's a 2xFHSAA 3A XC state champ and 2xFHSAA Track State Champ. He was a 2021 Footlocker National Qualifier and holds State Records in the 3200m and 5000m. Patrick was also the 2022-2023 Flordia Boys Cross Country Player Of The Year. Patrick is committed to run for Stanford University next Fall.

In today's conversation, Patrick details his career and all that has happened to get him to this present moment. He goes through the ups, downs, and everything in-between. We dicuss his start in the sport, running fast early in high school and any pressure that came with it, trying to be one of the leading guys in the class of 24', his plans for a historic senior year, and much more.

Simply put, Patrick Koon is Him. Tune in to hear from one of the brightest young stars in the nation before you see his name on top of the results list all year.
