Listen Later

Today on the show is Benji Anderson!


Benji is a graduated senior from Mountain Vista High School out of Highlands Ranch, Colorado. He is a Colorado XC State Champ, Indoor 2-mile State record-holder, 2x Footlocker All-American, New Balance Indoors All-American.


Benji holds PRs of:

800: 1:52.70Mile: 4:02.983200m 8:46.155k XC: 14:41.55


Benji is at the apex of high school distance-running, yet as he shared in our conversation today, he still believes that he has unfinished business.


How could that be?


You will learn all about Benji's mindset and the many interesting insights and stories he has from trail running, coming back from a disappointing race at FLXC to run 8:50 for 2-mile at New Balance Indoors. We also discuss Benji's commitment to run at Notre Dame in the fall, and much more.


I hope you enjoy this episode of The Sunday Shakeout!
