Jasmine Todd and Katelyn Hutchison speak with U.S. 100m champion Melissa Jefferson on the power of community that helped her become one of the best short sprinters in the country. She ran a wind-aided 10.69 to become the No. on the U.S. all-time, all-conditions list. After finishing 8th at the NCAA Championships in the 100m, she stormed back to win the USATF Championships a few weeks later. She was also the NCAA indoor champion at 60m while at Coastal Carolina.

Jasmine Todd and Katelyn Hutchison share some of their own respective backstories in how they got involved with running and how they've found motivation. For Jasmine, her faith and her early success put her on a path to be motivated to chase records and titles while in high school and then at the University of Oregon. Katelyn is currently using her own lessons on motivation as she continues to improve upon her own personal bests while competing as a sprinter at the University of Kentucky this upcoming year. Both hosts have set it as a goal to compete at next year's U.S. Outdoor Championships and possibly the World Athletics Championships together someday.

Jasmine Todd and Katelyn Hutchison speak with Noah Lyles just weeks after he successfully defended his 200m world championship gold medal and broke Michael Johnson's American record with a 19.31 performance in the final. His previous personal best before that race was 19.50. He led a Team USA medal sweep in the event. Only Jamaica's Usain Bolt (19.19) and Yohan Blake (19.26) have ever run faster.

"I've been telling people for the longest amount of time, I was going to change track and field. I don't know how I was going to do it. I don't know when I was going to do it. I don't know what I was going to come up with but I was going to do it...I meant that from the first time I said it to right now. I meant what I said. The first thing I saw that needed to change was what was going on in the mixed zone."

We finally give our new co-host Katelyn Hutchison a proper introduction. She was a sprinter at Division III Ithaca College and will be using her final year of NCAA eligibility at Kentucky next year. In this episode, she chats about how her father inspired her love for track and field and made his own name for himself as a die-hard fan on Twitter. She's carried on his legacy and started to make a name for herself within the track and field media space. Katelyn also shares her thoughts on where she sees her impact and role within the track and field media landscape that's changing.

The guest for this episode is the reigning 110m hurdles world champion and Olympic silver medalist Grant Holloway. He is a professional hurdler for adidas running and we recorded this from the adidas hospitality suite in Eugene, Oregon last weekend. He is the second-fastest 110 hurdler in history but he’s had the world record on his mind for a while. This past winter, he ran 7.29 to tie his own world record in the 60m hurdles and won gold at the World Indoor Championships. He’s one of the most fun personalities in the sport and I’m sure you’ll have some laughs in this episode.
