SportStories, Ep 2.7 | California Track & Field Series — Meb Keflezighi

Arguably One Of America’s Greatest Distance Runners, San Diego High Grad And Four-Time Olympian Meb Keflezighi Joins The Podcast •

For our final installment to the CA Track & Field series that we’ve used to open Season 2, we host our fourth consecutive Olympian and our first distance runner. This week we glean stories from the great Meb Keflezighi.

Host Chace Bryson and Youth Runner Magazine publisher Dan Kesterson talk with Keflezighi about his early childhood in the small war-torn African nation of Eritrea, his immigration to the U.S. where he first discovered running in junior high, and his incredible career that included CIF State titles, NCAA championships, four Olympic Games and multiple major marathon wins.

Keflezighi’s career could fill 10 hours of episodes, but we crammed as many SportStories in as we could. Enjoy!
