Bethany Michalak on dealing with pressure, her favorite high school memories and more

Today on the podcast I’m joined by one of the most talented cross country runners in the nation, Bethany Michalak! Bethany just finished 6th at the Woodbridge classic where there was an incredibly deep field. In 2022 she finished 3rd at the cross country national meet and with both the people ahead of her having graduated she hopes to earn herself a national title. However it won’t be easy, because even though She is constantly leveling up, so is every other girl in the country. Her personal best include 4:35 (1600), 9:57 (3200), and 16:49 (xc 5k). In this episode we discuss the pressure she feels as the number one returner to NXN, some of the most impactful movies she’s ever seen, her food combination hot takes and more.
