Mike details his wrestling background that included an appearance at state and injuries that derailed several of his seasons.

Mike describes 40 of the most memorable minutes of his life when he made history at the Drake Relays with a pair of high school titles in three races. He also tells of the moment when Loras coaches knew he would no longer be running 400 hurdles and instead concentrate more on 800s. Mike talks about his new bride Beth, her influence on him and their honeymoon in August. He also tells of goals he has this season and beyond.
