Ep. 129 - Inside The Mind of D1 Commit & 2x State Champ: The Return of Malachi Schoenherr

This week on the podcast is the return of Malachi Schoenherr. Malachi is currently a junior who runs for Sheldon High School in Eugene, Oregon. He is a 2x State Champ (2024 Oregon 6A 3K Track Champ & 2024 Oregon 6A XC State Champ). Malachi also just recently committed to run for BYU in 2026. Malachi has had a rollercoaster ride since the last time I talked to him in the summer. He had an up-and-down junior cross-country season, not winning a single race until his conference meet, yet breaking his 5K XC school record, running 14:46. Malachi went on to win a state title and was optimistic heading into NXR until a bad day ended his season. This past winter Malachi committed to run for the BYU Cougars, the defending NCAA XC Champs. He is only a junior, so he still has one more year of high school running left. Today, Malachi dive deep into the recruitment process for BYU, why BYU was particularly special for him, as well as his honest opinions on the 2024 cross country season, the elusive sub-4 barrier, and much more.
