Summary

Today on the podcast is my very fast friend Sophia Kennedy!

Sophia Kennedy has slowly cemented herself as one of the greatest runners in Indiana state history. Last fall, Sophia placed seventh at the Nike Cross Nationals, a week after taking second at the Champs Sports Midwest Region Championships. Sophia is a two-time qualifier for the Eastbay National Cross Country Championships, placing seventh in 2021. Sophia, the daughter of U.S. distance great Bob Kennedy, was fifth in the two-mile at the 2021 Brooks PR Invitational and eighth in 2022. Running for Park Tudor School in Indianapolis, Sophia was second in the 3,200 at the 2022 Indiana state track finals and third in the state in cross country this fall. This indoor season, Sophia placed fourth in the Mile at Nike Indoor Nationals, running 4:45.60.

This outdoor season Sophia became the Indiana State Champion in the 3200m and placed fourth in the Brooks PR 3200m, running a personal best time of 9:57.09. Others may know Sophia's dad, Bob Kennedy, a two-time Olympian who set American Records and won four NCAA titles while at Indiana University. Sophia is committed to run for Stanford University this Fall.

In this conversation, Sophia shares her journey in the sport, the highs and lows of her high school career, what made Stanford stand out, and much more. Today's conversation is very fun and insightful! I hope you all enjoy it as much as we did having it.
