Episode 64 - Lauren Green, Nevada Wolfpack

This week I had the pleasure to talk with Nevada Wolfpack runner and Volcano Vista alum, Lauren Green. She sits in the top ten performers for Nevada in the 400 in both indoor and outdoor. She is a 2 time NM state champion in the 400 and is hoping for big things at the Mountain West Conference Championships this week.

We talk about her start in running, what it was like competing for a same school in Santa Rosa to the transition to 5A at Volcano Vista and on to NCAA Division I. She has overcome injuries and even Covid this year to continue to stay at the top of her game. She is a highly motivated person and it was a great conversation.

She is majoring in journalism and has a great voice to add to the sport, but before that, she is still running at her best. I hope you enjoy the conversation and join me in cheering for her this week. At the end of the conversation we talk about reinstate 48, which was a push to reinstate the 48 regional qualifiers that was reduced to 32 this year. That was fixed after our conversation and 48 regional qualifiers for each gender in each event is the norm again.

Enjoy the warm weather, stay safe, wear a mask, and keep running, New Mexico.
