Aaron & Joshua Potts interviewed high school athletes and coaches at the 2023 Inland Empire Challenge. The I.E. Challenge showcases high school cross country running from Riverside & San Bernardino county in California every single year.

In this episode they interviewed nationally ranked teams and individuals as they start to prepare for the post season. Plus they have a conversation with high schoolers about what a P.R. means to them.

We want to give a special shoutout to Rancho Cucomanga High School who invited us out and puts on the event every year!!
