Seth Norder, Nolan Clark and Will Hewitt join host James Rogers in conversation. Seth and Nolan represent Grand Haven High School in Michigan and are two of the fastest runners in the state. They had incredible performances at the Division 1 state track meet on June 4 in Rockford, Michigan. Seth finished second in the 1600 meters with a time of 4 minutes, 7.99 seconds (4:07.99). Nolan finished fourth in the 3200 meters with a time of 9:08.74. They were also part of the Grand Haven 4x800 relay team that broke the school record at the state meet -- the first Grand Haven 4x8 team to go under eight minutes. Seth and Nolan talk about the state meet in detail, their high school careers so far, team culture, summer miles and goals for 2022 cross country.

James then welcomes Will on the pod to get a coaching perspective. Will is one of Seth and Nolan's coaches, and he shares thoughts on Grand Haven running and what it's like to coach two of the best high school runners in Michigan.
