In this special edition of the Peristyle Podcast host Ryan Abraham welcomes in three special guests to talk about a USC track and field program that has been getting a much-needed infrastructure boost over the past couple of years. USC track and field throws coach Martin Maric is a two-time Olympian who competed at the University of California Berkley and spent the past decade coaching at Virginia. Former USC thrower Conor McCullough is the president of the South Bay Athletic Club and competed in the 2016 Olympics. John Colich is a USC track and field booster who built the Colich Track and Field Center on campus as well as the Colich Throwing Center in Wilmington, giving the Trojan throwers a dedicated facility for practice and training.

This podcast episode was recorded on site at the Colich Throwing Center with Maric, McCullough and Colich talking about various aspects of the USC track and field team, some of the challenges of competing as a private school, the huge boost for recruiting and competing the two new facilities have provided for the track program and how the South Bay Athletic Club is providing USC student athletes (including football players) with NIL money in exchange for charitable work.
