Chris Chavez, Preet Majithia, and Mac Fleet unpack the best week of the 2026 outdoor season with Rome and Stockholm delivering back-to-back historic performances.Discussed in this episode:– Audrey Werro's 1:53.98: The third-fastest woman in 800-meter history, only the third woman ever under 1:54, beats Olympic champion Keely Hodgkinson (1:54.33 personal best, British record) in Stockholm. Historical context: the two women ahead of her — Kratochvílová (1:53.28, 1983) and Olizarenko (1:53.43, 1980) — are from countries that no longer exist and from the peak of the Eastern Bloc doping era. Many can regard Werro's 1:53.98 as the de facto clean world record.– Cooper Lutkenhaus wins the Stockholm men's 800 in 1:42.7: Diamond League debut. 17 years old. Junior year of high school in Texas. Beats Marco Arop (1:43.11), the former world champion and fourth-fastest man in history.– Mondo loses: First defeat since July 2023. 44-meet winning streak snapped– Noah Lyles wins the Rome 100m in 9.88: Noah typically builds slowly in the 100, but 9.88 is early and good. Jordan Anthony faded to fourth after looking promising at 60m.– Women's 200 landscape: Gabby Thomas runs 21.7 at the Lone Star Grand Prix in College Station — third fastest of her career; ulien Alfred has already run 21.86 in Rome, beating Melissa Jefferson-Wooden (her first loss in over a year). MJW bounced back in Stockholm with a 100m win and 10.84. If Shericka Jackson stays healthy, she's probably the pick.– Tate Taylor, 19.97: The second American high schooler to break 20 seconds in the 200. Hear Preet's full objection to the concept of high school records as a category– Looking ahead: LA Grand Prix this weekend. NCAA Championships in Eugene — Mac's pick is Simeon Birnbaum in the 1500, though Carter Cutting will be right there.____________Hosts: Chris Chavez | @chris_j_chavez + Preet Majithia | @preet_athletics + Mac Fleet | @macfleetProduced by: Jasmine Fehr | @jasminefehr____________SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSXENDURANCE: Xendurance Protein is designed specifically to help your body recover, rebuild, and get stronger after training.

3-18-26 Lobo Track & Field Coach, Darren Gauson joins TEAM Talk to recap last weekend's Indoor National Championship and look ahead to the outdoor season
If Rookie cards were a thing in the sport of Track & Field, then Foster Malleck's would be one you'd kill to get your hands on. After a 6 year NCAA career at Boston University where it took right up until his final collegiate season to qualify for the national championships, the Kitchener Ontario native wasted no time making a splash in his first year as pro. Less than a week after his final race in the BU Kit, Malleck was back on the track in a different shade of red, this time representing Canada at the 2025 World Indoor Championships in Nanjing China. His first-ever appearance at a senior international championship would kick off a rookie year as a pro that has been, quite literally, one for the record books. Since Nanjing, Malleck has lowered his Personal bests at the 1500, Mile, 2000, and 3000m while breaking three Canadian records and becoming the second-fastest Canadian in the 1500m of all time. Add to that a NACAC Gold Medal last summer and trip to the World Championship semi-finals in Tokyo in September and it's safe to say that jump to the big leagues was not a leap too far for the 24 year old. Now, a trip around the sun and countless laps around the track later, and Malleck returns to the World Indoor Championships this week in Poland no longer a fresh faced rookie but a battle-hardened vet ready to mix it up with the very best in the sport. Follow Foster @fostermalleck Subscribe to The Shakeout Podcast feed on Apple, Spotify, YouTube or wherever you find your podcasts. This week's episode is presented by Under Armour Racing season is here and if you're on the hunt for your next personal best, why not reach for the shoe that's propelled the best athletes in the world to theirs? The Velociti Elite 3 combines Under Armour's HOVR+ super foam with a specially tuned carbon plate and a light but durable outsole to give you all the tools you need to break through on race day.

With only days remaining until wall-to-wall college hoops returns to our lives, Bobby and Sam return to discuss a huge helping of Houston Cougar sports topics, including but not limited to the big baskeball tournament later this week. Here are the topics in order of discussion: Recapping the week that was for men's hoops at the Big 12 championship in Kansas City Digging deeper into round of 64 opponent Idaho & a lookahead at possible next round opponents St. Mary's and an ag school in College Station Quick updates on Track & Field at NCAA Indoors and looking ahead to Swim & Dive's NCAA trip of their own to Atlanta later this week Tennis corner checks back in on another ranked conference win! Golf corner returns with the men back in action in windy (!) Humble and the women returning to action in Arizona Baseball & Softball each deal with pitching challenges against Kansas-based Big 12 opponents, but look ahead to potential bounceback series this weekend
Chris Chavez and Kyle Merber unpack all of the action from this weekend.We're talking about a nineteen-year-old freshman from BYU who just walked into the NCAA Indoor Championships and dismantled the field in not one but two distance events. A triple crown is complete for Habtom Samuel. A DQ controversy that had coaches filing protests and athletes biting their tongues. Sprint performances so fast they're rewriting the record books — again. And a 28-year-old Ethiopian woman who showed up to her first-ever marathon and basically said, ‘yeah, this is fine, I'll take second all-time.' Oh, and New York City threw the biggest half marathon in American history, and we somehow need to talk about Grant Fisher's debut...which, depending on who you ask, was either a totally reasonable first step or terrible.In this week's episode:– Intro & headlines– Habtom Samuel's triple crown is complete: men's 5,000m– DQ controversy: men's 3,000m– Jane Hedengren makes history: 3K & 5K double– Carter Cutting seizes the moment: men's mile– Back-to-back for Wilma Nielsen: women's mile– Chepngetich's redemption arc & Arkansas 1-2– Record night in the sprints: three collegiate records fall– Fotyen Tesfay: second-fastest women's marathon ever, on debut– NYC Half recap– Grant Fisher's NYC Half debut: hot takes and cooler heads– The Adeajah Hodge doping suspension explained____________Hosts: Chris Chavez | @chris_j_chavez + Kyle Merber | @kylemerberProduced by: Jasmine Fehr | @jasminefehr____________SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSOLIPOP: Olipop's Tropical Punch tastes like a vacation in a can.

Chris Chavez and Preet Majithia break down a chaotic weekend in American track and field headlined by a lead vehicle disaster at the USATF Half Marathon Championships and a slate of big results at the USATF Indoor Championships.Discussed:– The 2026 USATF Half Marathon Championships in Atlanta were thrown into chaos when a lead vehicle guided the top women off course in the final mile with Jess McClain holding a big lead at the time. Molly Born, who stayed on course, won in 69:43. McClain, Emma Grace Hurley and Ednah Kurgat all filed appeals immediately after.– USATF's jury of appeals acknowledged the course was inadequately marked but said it had “no recourse within the rulebook” to alter the results, which was a ruling that drew widespread backlash. Atlanta Track Club CEO Rich Kenah took full responsibility.– Because the race served as the selection event for the 2026 World Athletics Road Running Championships in Copenhagen, the wrong turn didn't just cost the leaders prize money but also potentially cost them spots on Team USA. The selection situation is a tangled mess with no clean fix under current rules.– Cole Hocker won the men's 3,000m in a blanket finish in 7:39.25. Young missed the World Indoor team by .01 to Yared Nuguse after drifting off the rail in the home straight.– Emily Mackay won the women's 3,000m in a five-second personal best of 8:30.01, outkicking Elle St. Pierre in the final stretch for her first US title.– Hocker and Yared Nuguse then faded to 5th and 4th in Sunday's 1500m, won by former UW teammates Nathan Green and Luke Houser.– 17-year-old Cooper Lutkenhaus went 5-for-5 as a professional, winning the men's 800m in 1:46.68 with a tactically sharp performance.– Nikki Hiltz extended their US title streak to eight, winning the women's 1500m in 4:11.34.– Jordan Anthony won the men's 60m in 6.45, beating Trayvon Bromell and Noah Lyles.Plus: Tokyo Marathon recap, the Louis Hinchcliffe NCAA return and the Iowa State/Seth Clevenger doping investigation.____________Hosts: Chris Chavez | @chris_j_chavez + Preet Majithia | @preet_athleticsProduced by: Jasmine Fehr | @jasminefehr____________SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSOLIPOP: A blast from the past, Olipop's Shirley Temple combines smooth vanilla flavor with bright lemon and lime, finished with cherry juice for that nostalgic grenadine-like flavor.

Plus, a final look back at the Winter Olympics and a preview of what's ahead.– Keely Hodgkinson's world record at Levin is still reverberating. It's time to retire the “What about Athing Mu…” narrative.– Georgia Hunter-Bell ran 4:00 flat again at Levin but was left disappointed after a chaotic pacing situation.– The DQ heard ‘round the world: Theppiso Masalela of Botswana was disqualified from the 1500m in Toruń for an unsportsmanlike conduct gesture — a gun motion pointed at Azzedine Habz at the finish line.– A potential Nader vs. Hocker showdown at World Indoors.– Mondo Duplantis cleared 6.06m and debuted his new single “Feelin' Myself” performed live.– European distance runners have closed the gap on East Africans in road racing, at least in the 10K.– Oregon's DMR drama.– Parker Wolfe ran 12:59 for his first-ever sub-13 minute 5000m.– A light USA Indoors and Tokyo Marathon preview.– Bonus: Final Winter Olympics wrap.____________Hosts: Chris Chavez | @chris_j_chavez + Preet Majithia | @preet_athletics Produced by: Jasmine Fehr | @jasminefehr____________SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSUSATF: The USATF Indoor Track and Field Championships presented by Prevagen are back in New York City from February 28th to March 1st at the Ocean Breeze Athletic Complex in Staten Island.

Part 2 of our fireside chat with Randy Huntington goes deeper than technique and medals. This is a conversation about legacy, empathy, curiosity, and what it really means to coach—especially when the next phase of life begins.Randy reflects on his time in China, the isolation and growth that came with it, and how those experiences reshaped how he thinks about athletes, coaches, and the profession itself. We talk about the danger of losing the big rocks while chasing details, why simplicity is often the highest form of mastery, and why great coaches learn to say less, not more.This episode is also about transition—moving from coaching athletes to coaching coaches, from chasing outcomes to shaping people. Randy shares powerful stories about independence in athletes, emotional control in competition, and why fundamentals are still missing at the highest levels of the sport.Along the way, we dive into:* The loneliness and cultural stimulation of coaching abroad

In January 2026, Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone announced that she is pregnant and expecting her first child. This has led to both celebration, as well as questions on if she could make a successful return to the track, especially ahead of the 2028 Olympics.Though pregnancy has sometimes been seen as the end of an athlete's career, the history of elite women in Track & Field tells a very different story. We'll look back a few women throughout history, from Allyson Felix and Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, to Gwen Torrence and Wilma Rudolph, who stepped away from competition to start families, but returned to win Olympic and World championship medals.-------------------------------------------Chapters:00:00 Intro01:12 Women Returning From Pregnancy03:22 Allyson Felix05:18 Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce08:17 Nia Ali10:33 Lashinda Demus12:19 Yordonka Donkova13:24 Gwen Torrence14:53 Valarie Brisco-Hooks16:56 Irena Szewinska18:58 Wilma Rudolph20:41 Fanny Blankers-Koen22:43 Summary-------------------------------------------

2x Olympic Champion Shauane Miller-Uibo announced that she gave birth to her 2nd child and is also making a return to the track in 2026.

Speed has been engaging with track and field athletes more frequently over the past year, but is engagement with iShowspeed a net positive for Track & Field and a way to grow the sport?Letsile Tebogo recently spoke about receiving offers to change his nationality from Botswana to instead represent various countries in the Middle East. He ultimately denied those requests to transfer and continues to represent Botswana, but why did he choose to stay at home in Botswana instead of taking a likely large sum of money?-------------------------------------------Sources:Shaunae Miller-Uibo: https://www.instagram.com/hey_itsshaunae/reel/DTBWwsEEflK/?hl=enIShowSpeed Races Letsile Tebogo: https://x.com/CitiusMag/status/2008588776365584514Letsile Tebogo Botswana Interview 1: https://x.com/TrackGazette/status/2000605969978437802Letsile Tebogo Botswana Interview 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9APzecMeEHw-------------------------------------------Chapters:00:00 Intro01:10 Shaunae Miller-Returns to the track16:32 IShowspeed vs Letisile Tebogo34:06 Letisle Tebogo's offers to switch nationality51:22 Greatest Athletes of the 21st Century-------------------------------------------
