Episode 37: XC Individual State Champions

Imagine winning an individual state title and celebrating by drinking a DIET root beer! That's exactly what West Fargo Sheyenne's Aiden Johnson did, but did Eleni Lovgren and Williston's celebration top that? And does anyone have a better off-season training regimen than Class B champ Ian Busche? Those answers and so many more on Episode 37 of the Prairie Track and Field Podcast!

The post-season is what every athlete lives for, and it's finally back! Three of North Dakota's four region meets took place this past weekend, and each of them deserves a recap.

Episode 33: Andrew Raske - All Roads Lead to Jamestown

The "biggest small town in North Dakota." That beauty of a quote is from new University of Jamestown head track and field coach Andrew Raske. Cam & Ryan got a chance to sit down with Raske and ask him about his background, his goals and vision to grow the program, and why he's the right man for the job.
