Today we are joined by Head Men's and Women's Cross Country and Track & Field coach Andy Marrocco as well as two-time 2024 ODAC High Jump Champion (indoor and outdoor seasons) Katya Hoover! Going all the way back to September 2023, Keric Jackson gets things going with a reflection of the full academic year of seasons that coach Marrocco has made his way through; having national qualifiers in all three: one in Cross Country, three during the indoor season, and one outdoor. Then we take a look back to their beginnings, from coach Marrocco's first year and Katya's recruiting process up to how she worked her way to being an ODAC champion. After coach Isaac Blue passes off today's quick picks due to the names being a little difficult, he takes a look at the preparation that goes into sports like cross country and track & field. The episode wraps up with a discussion on how we continue to grow the sport to even greater lengths.
