Episode 112 - Chase Ealey; 3x National Champion, World Indoor Silver Medalist

This week I had the honor to speak with Chase Ealey. She is a Los Alamos Graduate, Oklahoma State Alum, and Current Nike Athlete. She is a world class Shot Put competitor, currently ranked #1 in the IAAF standings.

We talk about her start in track, which came after she quit softball and how she viewed herself as a sprinter who threw. We also talk about how she grew into a thrower and her recruitment process in that regard.

She talks about growing up in Los Alamos and never knowing what she could really do with throwing, but is now traveling the world and meeting amazing people. We also get into being a fan of the sport and that all aspects need to be there for each other.

It was a lot of fun getting to know Chase. We had a lot of fun talking and laughing and you get a real sense of her personality. She's got a couple of meets in Europe coming up, but USATF Outdoor National Championships will be coming up at the end of June, with the Women's Shot Put Final being at 2pm Mountain Time on June 26th.

The weather continues to get warmer and dryer. Be aware of that as you head out for your runs. Be safe, be kind, stay hydrated, and keep running (or throwing), New Mexico.
