Ep. 117 - An Open Conversation With The Fastest Sisters In High School: Sophia & Victoria Rodriguez On Winning Back-to-Back State Titles, The Future Of Their Relationship & Much More

Today on the podcast is the return of Sophia and Victoria Rodriguez from Mercer Island High School. The last time I had them on the podcast was last February and since then, Sophia has won 3 state titles, Victoria won a national title in the steeplechase, they finished 8th and 12th at NXN, and Victoria is committed to run at Wake Forest University next fall. So, there’s a lot to unravel. We discuss what it’s like with it being Victoria’s final year of high school running and how their sibling relationship is going to change, what it was like for Sophia to win a state title individually, and as a team on both the boys’ and girls’ side, their NXN experience in the mud, the importance of a mental reset, as well as how they are able to maintain joy in running despite the challenges that the sport brings. Please give this podcast a follow and a five-star review on whatever platform you are listening on. That goes a long way in supporting the growth of The Sunday Shakeout so that I can keeping bringing to you some of the greatest stories in the sport of running and in that process, share love and passion for track and field and distance running. Without further delay, please enjoy my conversation with Sophia and Victoria Rodriguez
