Today on the podcast is Tayshaun Ogomo.

Tayshaun is a graduated senior out of Herriman High School in Utah. He will be running at Utah Sate University this fall.

Tayshaun holds PRs of:

800m: 1:48.87* (Altitude converted: 1:49.40)3-mile XC: 13:57 5K XC: 14:44

Tayshaun just recently set the high school 4x800m National Record with the Herriman squad at the New Balance Outdoor Nationals meet. This was a statement race for the Herriman team, especially after falling short at NXN this past fall, where they were the defending champs. Tayshaun and I discussed the emotions of what it meant for that team to fall short and the mental approach he took to making the comeback.

And yes, there was a comeback.

At New Balance Indoor Nationals, Herriman proved they are the best team in the nation and that NXN 2024 was a fluke, winning the DMR National Title. They then followed it up with that aforementioned national title in the 4x800m.

In addition to the Herriman team dynamic, Tayshaun and I discuss the impact that Doug Soles has had on his career, as well as his individual success in the sport, claiming his first state title in a walk-off win at the Utah State meet.

Overall, amazing conversation with Tayshaun. You will not want to miss this one.

Please consider leaving a follow and a five-star review! I am on a mission this summer to deliver the highest quality video podcast in the sport of distance-running.

I hope you enjoy this episode of The Sunday Shakeout.
