Summary

Today on the podcast is the latest high schooler to break four minutes in the mile, Rocky Hansen!

On the final day of April 2023, Rocky ran 3:59.56 to win the mile against collegiate athletes at the Virginia High-Performance Meet. Hansen becomes the first North Carolina prep to accomplish the feat. Breaking records and making history, Hansen joins an exclusive group of only 18 high schoolers who have ever clocked a mile in under four minutes. Hansen's impressive feat ranks as the 15th-best time ever posted outdoors in the event. He has also run 8:34.78 for 3,200 meters at the Arcadia Invitational this season. Hansen is also a multi-time state Gatorade player of the year.

In this conversation, Rocky takes us through his historic season thus far, what it's meant to him, his ambitions for the rest of the season, how he ran a sub 4 mile, his training, committing to Wake Forest, and much more. This conversation was a ton of fun, and very insightful. I always enjoying diving deep into a big performance right after it happened, so who better to that with than the newest sub four miler! I hope you all enjoy the conversation as much as we did having it.
