The Runners Reunion Podcast catches up with Fitchburg State and North Shore legend Paul McGovern

Our final episode for 2022 features Fitchburg State and North Shore legend Paul McGovern.  Growing up in Lynn, MA Paul’s endless energy was channeled through sports.  In his neighborhood baseball was king with several of the local youth of Paul’s generation eventually making it to the major leagues.  That career path changed when a college track coach saw something in this young man that eventually resulted in Paul becoming a pro baseball prospect and taking the lead halfway through the 1992 Olympic Marathon trials.  Paul shares a remarkable tale of patience, persistence, self awareness and mental fortitude that listeners, and mom's and dad's everywhere will want their kids to hear. Take a listen, and get ready for more in 2023.
