    I thoroughly enjoyed this episode. It blows my mind that this kid went from D3 (DePauw) to the best 800m guy in the ACC within a matter of a few years. Sean Carlson has the best distance program in the east, no debate about it. If I was a fast high schooler in 2021, I'd go to ND. Back in the late 1990s (when I was in high school) they were definitely not the talk of the NCAA.

    I wish Samuel the best. He seems like such a genuine guy that's willing to work extremely hard to reach his goals.

    I'm a big fan of Sammy V. I've been following his career since high school. He's proof that you can reach your goals if you work hard for them. No need to eat Burritos.

    I look forward to listening to the episode on my run after work this evening.

    Also, Rojo if you're reading this, put money into Sammy V stock. Start hyping him up on the podcast so then J Gault will home home DEVASTATED after you pick him to make the team in 2022

    He was really good in HS. 1:49-1:50, could run a mean 400 leg. Didn’t have the grades for ND out of HS. Went to depauw to get the grades and then transferred. No ones path is Linear. As someone who watched him race from middle all the way to HS and now at the OLY trials Finals. He’s got a long future in this sport if he can remain healthy. Wouldn’t be surprised to see him make the team next year. All the best Sam.
