Today on the podcast is one of the biggest up-and-coming stars in the country, Jane Hedengren!

This past sophomore year, she set state records in the 1600-meter run, the mile, the 3000, and 2-mile this past season and swept the 800, 1600 and 3200 at the Class 5A state meet, leading her school to the state title. Hedengren clocked her state-best mile and 2-mile times, respectively, in a four-day span with victories at the Brooks PR Invitational (4:35.69) and Nike Outdoor Nationals (9:54.38). Her mile time ranked No. 1 among girls' prep competitors in 2023 and No. 8 in outdoor history. The 2-mile clocking ranked No. 3 nationally this spring and set a new sophomore national record. Her 9:24.56 in the 3,000 at the Penn Relays, where she took second, ranked No. 2 in the nation, and she secured her fourth state record by winning the 1600 at the BYU Invitational in 4:43.14.

In today's conversation, Jane shares her story and all that has led her to this place of excellence. We dive into her start into the sport, her electric track season, building confidence, this upcoming season, and more. I hope you all take the chance to tune in and hear from one of the top rising stars in the nation!
