0:16.7

Pompey. She was a quarter-molar for Guyana and also Olympian so thanks for joining and being

0:23.3

a co-host. So Natasha, let me just run down your resume really quickly. Okay. From Harlem,

0:31.2

shout-outs to New York and why I see actually a family in Harlem so that's pretty cool. And actually,

0:36.7

I probably ran around the same time but you were just way better than me in high school so we

0:42.0

probably had to say meet but you didn't notice me. Like definitely ran at the armory a couple times.

0:46.5

So let's see. No, I'm getting ready to say no because you're older than me but then we were in

0:59.4

school together. I'm like two years older than you. Yeah. So like I was yeah you were good in high

2:14.4

the 2028 and the 2016 games in the 4x4. Very, very impressive and I'm assuming you were preparing

2:20.8

for the games this year had it not been set back and you're going for some more medals next year.

2:27.2

I'm assuming as well. So that's that's exciting. Yeah. Yeah. So an extensive resume.

2:35.6

Lots of winning and lots of success. You were NCAA champion as well and in the 400. I think

2:41.8
