Today, ladies and gentlemen, is the first panel episode on The Sunday Shakeout.

To start off this series, I partnered up with Jean Claude, also known on Instagram as Startline Running, to bring to you some of the top athletes in the Washington State 3A division, including Owen Powell, Vince Recupero, Hudson Atrosh, and Kade Brownell.

I have had a few of these on the show before, but bringing them together on one panel episode was truly something else. These guys are national caliber and some of the biggest stars in all of high school running. It was great to hear some of their perspectives and banter as we draw closer to the 2025 Outdoor Track Season. The guys gave their thoughts on it being their senior year, the final dance of their high school careers, some of the personal growth and transformations they have undergone throughout their four years of high school, and really everything in between.

Truly, this episode has it all. It gets a little spicy at times with rivalries but I know that anyone listening is here for the action. And we have delivered.

Before we get into today’s episode, please, wherever you are, in your car, at work, on a run, give this podcast a follow and a five-star review on whatever platform you are listening on. That goes a long way in supporting the growth of The Sunday Shakeout so that I can keeping bringing to you some of the greatest stories in the sport of running and in that process, share love and passion for track and field and distance running.

So, without further delay, please enjoy the inaugural panel episode of The Sunday Shakeout.
