Summary
We kicked off our coverage at the 2023 New Balance Nationals by hanging out with 100m World Championship bronze medalist Trayvon Bromell and U.S. Indoor 1500m champion + fellow U.S. Olympian Heather McLean to reflect on their own high school careers. We also touched on their mindset practices before major competitions, track and field fashion, luxury watch sponsors, high school rivals and much more. We close it out by breaking down some of the most exciting high school athletes to watch and their events.
