E 30: PIAA Cross Country State Champion -Brian DiCola


Listen Later

Brian is a Senior in High School and has quite the resume!  He was the PIAA state cross country champion in Hershey this year.  Not only did he win Gold, but he did it in dramatic fashion by beating the course record in Hershey, PA.  When asked, Brian made it seem like it was not a big deal because the course is only 5 years old.  A very modest young man, Brian seems to have a great balance between hard work and fun.  Last weekend he also won the 3k at the TFCAGP meet at Lehigh University.  He ran the 6th fastest time for a PA boy ever in this event and currently is the number one ranked athlete in the country in this event.  Headed to Penn State to run track next year and major in Engineering, Brian still has big goals for this winter and spring season.  In this conversation we get into the headspace of Brian as he prepares, gets to the line and talks us through this recent race from beginning to end.
