A D3 Running Podcast where two D3 alums take deep dives into some of the important names, events, and institutions that have shaped D3 running history, and represented the division in the greater sport as a whole.
The D3 Glory Days Podcast is a fantastic podcast that delves into the world of Division III running. As a former D3 runner and running enthusiast, I thoroughly enjoy listening to the stories and discussions presented in this show. Every Tuesday, I eagerly anticipate the release of a new episode and eagerly add it to my podcast rotation.
One of the best aspects of this podcast is the focus on the camaraderie, determination, and sportsmanship of D3 running. The hosts do an excellent job of not only discussing the sport itself but also diving into the personal journeys and unique paths that these runners have taken to achieve their goals. This resonates with me as someone who got into running later in life and continually strives for personal records. I find these conversations to be relatable and always become invested in them quickly. Additionally, this podcast serves as an incredible platform to learn more about runners from various D3 schools that may not be well-known or familiar yet.
On the downside, it seems that this podcast mainly focuses on schools other than Grinnell College, which may disappoint listeners who are specifically interested in Grinnell's running program. However, despite this limitation, the discussions are still enjoyable and insightful for any D3 running enthusiast.
In conclusion, The D3 Glory Days Podcast is a must-listen for anyone interested in D3 running or seeking inspiration from underdog journeys in sports. With its entertaining hosts, engaging conversations, and informative interviews, this podcast stands out from others in its genre by taking a different approach and providing unique insights into Division III athletics. I highly recommend adding it to your podcast rotation – you won't be disappointed!

Ebun Opata will leave WashU as a 12x All-American. Every time she competed in the triple jump, she walked away an All-American.The what if of her careers comes this year. At the indoor national meet, she was overtaken on the final jump of her competitor by just one centimeter. The same thing happened outdoors but it took a +4.4 m/s gust to help to overtake her. Two seperate occasions she missed out on a title on the very last jump.However, she has a great perspective and sense of accomplishment within her career. She has progressed as jumper and saw herself on the team podium with WashU 7 times.This is a great conversation to understand how to deal with setbacks and keep going.SUPPORT BOMBASWe're very excited to have Bombas sponsoring the podcast this month!

The D3 At-Large Window opened this year on September 28th. That means the John McNicholas invite didn't count and leaves a smaller window for team to earn quality wins. D1 opened up September 13th and D2 opened up September 18th. Johns Hopkins Coach, Bobby Van Allen, walked us through his proposal of moving up the window to 9 weeks prior to the national meet. It was passed at the coaches convention but the NCAA committee rejected. He shares why opening up the window gives the committee a better opportunity to view a teams full resume, why can let team go run meets they want to run, and ultimately he doesn't want to eliminate the data. We go more in-depth on the proposal and what other changes could benefit D3. What are your thoughts? How to Support D3 Glory Days: THE NEWSLETTER! D3 Glory Days Venmo. We launched a Patreon!

Add in some more mileage and her times have dropped significantly. She goes into how the team is handling the early season success and what they need to do to make the national meet.

This week we're excited to welcome Stockton University alumnus, and Diadora USA CEO Bryan Poerner to D3 Glory Days. In this far ranging conversation, we explore how Bryan's roots in the 90's punk and hardcore music scenes eventually led to the corner office of a major global running brand. Bryan is passionate about creativity, and actively explores the intersections of culture, art, music, and athletics. In this hour we explore how interests which at first can seem incompatible, can actually be complimentary, and lead you down a path of fulfillment in multiple endeavors. From touring in bands, training for the steeplechase at an elite level, leading Diadora USA, and now finding inspiration in his Children's running, this was a really enjoyable conversation, and we think Bryan's passion for his work and his running will jump right through your speakers.
