Emma Grace HurleyGUEST
So that, we talked about the team scoring, but not necessarily our own individual races.
Chris ChavezHOST
I guess, like, at this point, it feels, like, so far away when the lead car USATF Half Marathon Championships debacle happened.
Chris ChavezHOST
Like, it's just-
Emma Grace HurleyGUEST
Like another lifetime.
Jonathan GaultHOST
And I, I think also, thank goodness we got these women on the team after the total fiasco that was the selection event, because Jess McLean and Emma Grace Hurley, they were two of the athletes who were led off course towards the end.
Jonathan GaultHOST
USATF appeals to World Athletics to get them back on the team.
Jonathan GaultHOST
USATF is allowed to enter six athletes, only four are allowed to score.
Jonathan GaultHOST
But yeah, they, they, I mean, they've got quite a story to tell about 2026, Jess McLean and Emma Grace Hurley, about how it started and now how it ended.
Jonathan GaultHOST
Uh, it-- and, you know, they've both got full marathons to come, uh, a debut for Emma Grace Hurley actually in Chicago next month.
Jonathan GaultHOST
So re-really great performance by, by all three of them.
Robert JohnsonHOST
Unlike you, I'm not willing to praise USATF for getting them on the team.
Robert JohnsonHOST
They could name whatever four they wanted to name to that team, and they did name the correct four and then got two extra runners.
Zach BitterHOST
... it's like, is that pacing? It, it's like you didn't ask them to.
Zach BitterHOST
You d- you, you may have even told them not to, but, like, how do you do that? I, I imagine there would be some sort of a official there that would probably take care of that in, like, an, in, in a USATF or a World Athletics or IAU type of scenario.
Zach BitterHOST
But, um, yeah, I mean, there's a lot of things that could be, like, a little bit goofy with that.
Zach BitterHOST
And the- that's a great point too with the, the content stuff because it's one of those things where I think of the events that have gotten a bunch of public attention and really pushed the sport into new people's, uh, presence has been some of the content creation along the way.
Anna PosberghHOST
But I really appreciated in this piece how you parsed through how track and field has...
Anna PosberghHOST
Inconsistent is the word that you use, and I think it's the best way to describe how the track and field world, world athletics, USATF, have kind of embraced gambling, but also have not embraced gambling in ways that we've seen with the NFL, NBA, MLB.
Anna PosberghHOST
And so...
Anna PosberghHOST
I'm curious what led you to write about this topic for starters, especially in the track and field context?

Hannah BorensteinGUEST
They are suing a lot of the...
Hannah BorensteinGUEST
There are, like, they are doing some of these tennis tours to fight for better pieces of the pie.
Hannah BorensteinGUEST
And I think one thing that athletes are always frustrated at, track and field athletes, is that every time World Athletics or USATF makes a decision, they don't really talk to the athletes about it.
Hannah BorensteinGUEST
They have this sort of, like, Athletes Commission, which is under World Athletics, which, as we all know, is this kind of, like... like gesture to say that you're hearing athletes' voices.
Peter BromkaHOST
I think we're in the final 5K now.
Peter BromkaHOST
And the hilarious part to me was like, I was like, they had this, you know, USATF has this like high definition camera on a motorcycle with a wide view for you.
Peter BromkaHOST
And I'm like, I don't think many people watch the live feed on a Sunday morning, but if they do, like I probably know them and they're going to be like, why is Peter...
Peter BromkaHOST
Getting in Paige's way.
Mike CunninghamHOST
You mentioned about coaching and learning.
Mike CunninghamHOST
Were you doing any, what I'm going to call the, it's not official, what do I call it? The like coaching education, like did you go to any USATF level ones, USTFCCCA classes, Altus, any of that type of coaching education at this point? I
Jordon AndreassenGUEST
did.
Jordon AndreassenGUEST
I did the USATF.
Jordon AndreassenGUEST
I believe.
Jordon AndreassenGUEST
I did like the strength and conditioning.
Ronald McKenzieGUEST
But I think that the more voices we have, the more angles we get on how parallel owners are influencing how public lands are used and our direct impact, everything from the things that we use to our voice in politics.
Ronald McKenzieGUEST
What I'd like to see in the long run is some kind of institute to help to train individuals, similar to how USATF has a program to train coaches, that I'd like to see the American Trail Running Association take up leadership and to start training the next generation of folks who can not just train the next generation of trail runners, but to be a voice in it on the various different facets of how our sport is impacting the environment.
Ronald McKenzieGUEST
And I think that instead of just speaking about public lands, we need to have a broader focus as to how we're impacting our usage of these lands.
Luis EscobarHOST
Do you like the Road Dogg podcast? I think you do because here you are listening again.
Angie RobinsonHOST
Wow
Cindra KamphoffGUEST
... uh, working with the Minnesota Vikings for four years as their mental performance coach, um, USA Track & Field, and now, uh, do a lot of still work in professional sport and my keynote speaker.
Angie RobinsonHOST
Amazing.
Cindra KamphoffGUEST
So I lead a company called the Mentally STRONG Institute.
Jacob ThomsonHOST
Well, I think that's actually the reason is from a financial perspective, the races are like, "Hey, we're making all this money.
Jacob ThomsonHOST
We basically have to give up all this money to do all this stuff that USATF wants.
Jacob ThomsonHOST
Why would we, the Houston Marathon, basically, you know, give away all of our profit to USATF just so we could host the half mara- half the, the Olympic trials?" And I think that's basically what happened and why you've seen the last couple of trials have been standalone events.
Rory LinkletterHOST
So I wonder if that same deal's been struck here with Copenhagen and World Athletics, if World Athletics is squeezing them dry for every penny that they would've made this weekend, or if they're get- if it's a worthy, profitable affair for them to be the host-
Jacob ThomsonHOST
Yeah, 'cause I-
Rory LinkletterHOST
... country
Jacob ThomsonHOST
...
Jacob ThomsonHOST
I know the big thing too with USATF is you can't have a competing sponsor.
Rick LawrenceNARRATOR
Both races finish at Porter on the Lake Town Park.
Rick LawrenceNARRATOR

Rick LawrenceNARRATOR

Rick LawrenceNARRATOR
Many participants take part in both events to honor and remember their loved ones, with several choosing to walk the Hospice Dash 5K as a heartfelt tribute.
