Today on the podcast is the one and only, Clay Shively!

Clay runs for his high school Wichita Trinity Academy and ran 4:01.47 in mile at this year's Festival of Miles as a junior in high school. This indoor season Clay broke the legendary Jim Ryun's 58yr old indoor state mile record of 4:07 by running 4:04.95. Clay is committed to run for Northern Arizona University next Fall.

I had the privilege of meeting Clay both in St. Louis and then a few weeks later in Seattle, and this kid not only had an incredibly bright future on the track, but is also one of the most genuinely kind people I've ever met.

In today's episode, Clay shares his upbringing in the sport, the past year of success, his ambitions for the next year, leading the class of 24', deciding to go to NAU, and much more. This kicks off episodes with the next class of stars in our sport, and I'm honored Clay kicked this off. Tune in to hear him speak before he sets the grass on fire this fall.
