Episode 114 - Mikayla Sehlmeyer; Volcano Vista and Colombia College Grad, Cibola Cross Country Coach

This week I had the pleasure to talk with Mikayla Sehlmeyer. She is a Volcano Vista graduate and a recent graduate of Columbia College in Missouri. She is also the new Cibola High School Cross Country Coach.

Mikayla has a unique journey to running. Not only did she start in gymnastics and get started with track with the pole vault, she has tried just about every event. In high school, she ran sprints and ran hurdles. She also did long jump and triple jump, qualifying for state in both and leaving as a triple jump state champion her senior year.

We talk about choosing Columbia College, trying multis, and eventually making the transition to distance. I have never seen anyone with official college marks in everything from the 60m to the 10k. It's pretty amazing, in my opinion.

We also talk about her coaches and her coaching position at Cibola High School. It was a fun talk and I hope you enjoy our conversation.

The rain and cloud cover have been nice to bring the temperatures down, but the humidity still keeps things warm. So stay hydrated, stay cool, be safe, and keep running, New Mexico.
