ā€œIā€™m thankful for the opportunity I have to make the U.S. Trials. Itā€™s always easy to talk about things you donā€™t have but Iā€™m so thankful for this club. For the first time in my career, I feel like I have opportunities to run times that I dreamed of when I was 13 or 14 years old and first started the sport. If you told my sophomore year high school or 15-year-old self that Iā€™d have an opportunity to run 3:55 or 3:54 (for the mile), I probably wouldnā€™t believe you. But now I 100% believe it."

Eric Holt is a member of Empire Elite, a new pro group in New York coached by John Trautmann and Tommy Nohilly who used to be part of Frank Gaglianoā€™s coaching staff with the New Jersey-New York Track Club. In this episode, youā€™ll get to know Eric a bit better after he recently won the Trials of Miles Kansas City Qualifier menā€™s 1,500. Heā€™s one of the guys on the cusp of break 3:40 and trying to get into the U.S. Olympic Trials. Eric went to Binghamton, where he was a six-time America East track and field champion. Eric took a break from the sport after graduating but is now fully back in. Heā€™s run 3:40.77 for the 1,500m and 3:58.88 for the mile. This one goes out to all of the people who know thereā€™s more to give after college and are still willing to give it your best shot, because thatā€™s what heā€™s doing.
