Send us a textTexasTrackDad Podcast: Featuring Taylor NunezSprinting Into the Future: Taylor Nunez's Journey from State Legend to Olympic AspirationsIn this inspiring episode of TexasTrackDad Podcast, we sit down with Taylor Nunez, the most decorated girls high school sprinter in Texas history and a committed star heading to Texas A&M. A legend at Randolph High School, Taylor capped her career with an unmatched 16-for-16 run of individual state gold medals in the 100 m, 200 m, long jump, and relays—and did it without ever losing a state meet race ([San Antonio Report][1], [San Antonio Express-News][2]).As Taylor takes this moment of pause after her final high school season, she sets her sights on the 2028 Olympics on home turf in Los Angeles. She's aiming to shave her 100 m time down to the high‑10 seconds and extend her long jump from 21 to 22 feet ([San Antonio Report][1]). Beyond her athletic goals, Taylor is deeply grounded: she graduated with a strong 3.7 GPA and plans to pursue a degree in kinesiology, with dreams of working in physical therapy—choosing a professional path over turning pro immediately ([San Antonio Report][1]).Coming from a powerhouse athletic lineage—her mom, Tameka, is a former Olympian-caliber competitor, and her grandparents were athletes, too—Taylor's discipline, focus, and dedication shine through. She's made sacrifices for her craft, from early morning workouts to missed prom nights, all while keeping her eye on using track as a springboard to adulthood ([San Antonio Report][1]).Tune in to hear Taylor's story: from family inspiration and record-setting high school dominance to recruiting experiences, balancing academics with elite training, and mapping her Olympic dream. It's a conversation full of heart, grit, and Texas-sized ambition—perfect for fans, aspiring athletes, and anyone curious about what's next for this rising sprint and jump start.www.texastrackdadpodcast.comSupport the show
"I love this sport and I love the people in it. I love the people I race against. I love all the fans. People are wonderful." Fresh off her U.S. Outdoor National Championships 10,000m win, fan favorite Emily Infeld returns to the Ali on the Run Show to talk about winning her first national title at age 35, 13 years into her professional career. Ten years ago, Emily made her first World Championships team, and went on to win a bronze medal in the 10,000m on the world stage. The next year, she made her first Olympic team, and competed at the Games in Rio. Then, Emily had a string of tough years and struggles, including injuries, surgeries, changing teams, changing coaches, changing locations, changing sponsors, and navigating a three-year ordeal with a stalker. Today, Emily is happy, healthy, and breaking the tape. She lives in Portland, OR, with her husband, Max. She's sponsored by Brooks, after 12 years with Nike. And she's coached once again by her college coach, Chris Miltenberg. In this conversation, Emily talks about what it took to unleash that kick in the homestretch and to break the tape at a National Championship.

“There is a pretty significant amount of track and field athletes for whom a college opportunity will only come through the participation of track and field. That is something we need to really educate the public around. Coining the term, ‘the opportunity sport,' encapsulates all of that. It's something I believe the broader public can get understanding around.”Starting July 1, NCAA Division I schools can directly pay athletes for the first time ever. This shift follows the House v. NCAA antitrust settlement, approved last week by Judge Claudia Wilken. The $2.8B deal doesn't make athletes employees, but it does allow them to finally receive a share of the billions in revenue they help generate. Schools will be able to offer up to $20.5M annually to student-athletes across all sports (amounts not required to be equal). It also tightens oversight of NIL collectives via a new clearinghouse that ensures deals are “fair-market value.” After major pushback over lost roster spots, the final version protects current and incoming athletes, though schools aren't required to restore those spots. Now, athletic departments are racing to implement these changes. Some are lobbying Congress for federal regulation, hoping this deal becomes a stepping stone toward nationwide legislation. Either way, college sports — and particularly cross country and track — will never look the same.Mentioned in this episode…Read: Track Is America's Opportunity Sport.

This week, Chris Chavez and Megan Connelly unpack the new U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials Qualifying Standards. Preet Majithia hops on for the second half to recap Grand Slam Track: Philadelpia, Anna Hall's breakthrough heptathlon, preview the Rome Diamond League, and more takeaways from the past week.Takeaways from the new U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials Qualifying Standards:– USATF will return to “A” and “B” standards for 2028. The “A” standard will be determined at a later date in coordination with the LOC. Athletes with the “A” standard will get travel funding to the Olympic Trials. Athletes with the “B” standard will be guaranteed entry to the Olympic Trials.– For the “B” standard: Women who want to race will have to run 2:37:00 or faster. This is the same as the 2024 U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials qualifying standard. Women will also be able to qualify if they run 1:12:00 for the half marathon or faster, which is the same as the 2024 qualifier.– For the “B” standard: Men who want to race will have to run 2:16:00 or faster. This is two minutes faster than the 2024 U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials qualifying standard. Men can also enter if they run 1:03:00 or faster for the half marathon, which is the same as the 2024 qualifier. Going off USATF's 2024 qualifiers list, 139 of the 220 qualified men ran faster than 2:16:00.Hosts: Chris Chavez | @chris_j_chavez on Instagram + Megan Connelly | @meganmorantwwe on Instagram Preet Majithia | @preetmajithia on InstagramSUPPORT OUR SPONSORSOLIPOP: Olipop is a prebiotic soda that tastes like a throwback to your favorite childhood drinks, but it's loaded with benefits that your body will thank you for.
