This Week In Track & Field: NCAA Indoor Championships Recap (Jane Hedengren/Habtom Samuel/Colin Sahlman Are Stars); Fotyen Tesfay’s 2:10 Marathon Debut; NYC Half Results + Grant Fisher’s Debut

Chris Chavez and Kyle Merber unpack all of the action from this weekend.We’re talking about a nineteen-year-old freshman from BYU who just walked into the NCAA Indoor Championships and dismantled the field in not one but two distance events. A triple crown is complete for Habtom Samuel. A DQ controversy that had coaches filing protests and athletes biting their tongues. Sprint performances so fast they’re rewriting the record books — again. And a 28-year-old Ethiopian woman who showed up to her first-ever marathon and basically said, ‘yeah, this is fine, I’ll take second all-time.’ Oh, and New York City threw the biggest half marathon in American history, and we somehow need to talk about Grant Fisher’s debut...which, depending on who you ask, was either a totally reasonable first step or terrible.In this week’s episode:– Intro & headlines– Habtom Samuel’s triple crown is complete: men’s 5,000m– DQ controversy: men’s 3,000m– Jane Hedengren makes history: 3K & 5K double– Carter Cutting seizes the moment: men’s mile– Back-to-back for Wilma Nielsen: women’s mile– Chepngetich’s redemption arc & Arkansas 1-2– Record night in the sprints: three collegiate records fall– Fotyen Tesfay: second-fastest women’s marathon ever, on debut– NYC Half recap– Grant Fisher’s NYC Half debut: hot takes and cooler heads– The Adeajah Hodge doping suspension explained____________Hosts: Chris Chavez | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@chris_j_chavez⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ + Kyle Merber | ⁠⁠⁠@kylemerber⁠⁠⁠Produced by: Jasmine Fehr |⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠@jasminefehr⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠____________SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSOLIPOP: Olipop’s Tropical Punch tastes like a vacation in a can.
