Summary

Sam Bush joins the podcast!

Sam currently competes for the University of North Carolina State (aka NC State), where she has been a dominant force within the NCAA. Sam is a 3xAll-American and was the 2022 ACC Outdoor 5k Champion in the 5k. She has helped her team win back-to-back NCAA Cross Country team titles in 2021 and 2022. In high school, Sam had ten top-five finishes at Ohio State meets and an All-Ohio Scholar Athlete. She also was a 2019 Adidas Dream Mile qualifier

In this conversation, Sam walks us through her beginnings in the sport, running in the state of Ohio, the transition into NC State, winning back-to-back NCAA titles, winning the ACC Outdoor 5k, building confidence, future goals, and frying an egg for Gordon Ramsay.

This conversation was fantastic and I'm sure you'll enjoy and find value from it.
