Summary
“The fans really do love field events. They know a lot of our stories. it ‘s just unfortunate that it doesn’t get shown on TV as much. That's where I come in. I'm trying to find common ground so that we can get the athletes their love just as much as the sprinters and distance runners get.”

She also previews the stars that she will be watching closely at the Olympic Trials. Hear more from Brittney in this episode of the CITIUS MAG Podcast.
