Your Hosts:
Josh Kerr is the Scottish Record Holder over 1500m and the European record holder over the mile(i). Tokyo Olympic Bronze Medalist, 2023 World Champion, 3x NCAA Champion over the mile & 1500m, and currently Dave's biggest fan!

If you are unfamiliar with the Millrose Games, it can be best described as the Indoor "Super Bowl" for Track & Field. The best of the best, most prestigious, and most anticipated are safe descriptions of this event. It was once held in Madison Square Garden and has found its home in the historic New York Armory. This year's event will be literally for the record books as owner/host of the podcast Josh Kerr goes after a World Record!
The 2024 Milrose Games is shaping up to be one of the best in history as multiple world records will be attempted. Josh Kerr is in the two-mile, and Yared Nuguse is in the one-mile. The day will be full of nonstop action, ultimately allowing this preview to be an hour long. This episode of Sit & Kick covers this weekend's meet, events, and athletes in play. The two hosts, Erik Sowinksi and David Ribich draft their teams and pick their favorites ahead of the most anticipated indoor track and field weekend. This is the first real weekend of Track & Field, where Olympic Champion hopefuls begin to line up against one another to kick off their season.

Sit & Kick with Simone Plourde: Her Rise in Canadian Middle Distance Running
Simone Plourde may be new to the professional scene, but how she races and handles everything running would make you think she has been in the sport for decades.
Simone Plourde rose to recognition quickly in the NCAA while at the University of Utah. She finished 4th in the 3000m at NCAA Indoors, Pac-12 champion over 1500m, and earned All-American honors in the outdoor 5000m. It wasn't a perfect final year for the NCAA, but it was a perfect year for her to transition into the professional ranks, signing with Nike and UAC.
Her summer consisted of a podium finish at the Canadian Championships and representing Team Canada in Budapest at the World Championships. Even after the long year, she lowered her 1500m PR to 4:06.
Simone is well-spoken and articulate in how she talks about running, but not in the way you might think. She is a refreshing listen and we are sure her mindset and monologues will make you a fan of hers ahead of the Paris 2024.
Topics of the Episode include:
- Introduction to running and NCAA system/transfering Universities
- Decision to leave NCAA early
- Exceeding all expectations in 2023
- First World Championship experience
- Nike/UAC
- Fan Submitted
- BanterBowl
Disclaimer: Audio quality is lower than in previous episodes as Dave forgot his microphone cord and headphones but ordered a new set that will be ready for the next episode. Enjoy!
