In Episode 1 of The Call Room Rising Stars, I have the privilege of speaking with Ryan Pajak!

Ryan is an absolute stud out of my home state of Pennslyvania. Ryan placed 12th last year at the 2022 Foot Locker National Meet, gaining his First-XC All-American title in the process. Ryan holds PRs of 4:09 (Mile), 8:48 (3200m), and recently ran 14:40 on the grass. Ryan is committed to run for The University of Notre Dame.

In today's episode, Ryan goes through his start in the sport, how Pennsylvania is an underrated running state, committing to the University of Notre Dame, placing 12th at Foot Locker last year, his ambitions for State & Foot Locker this year, and so much more!
