    In this episode, we sit down with Summer Wilson, Irvine HS national standout, national record holder, California State Champion, and Duke commit. Summer shares her athletic journey, from the spark that turned her into a runner to the standout memories that have defined her career so far.

    We talk about the intense California gauntlet: the benefits of competing in one of the toughest states in the country, balancing state titles with national goals, and how those grueling races have prepped her for Nike Outdoor Nationals.

    Plus, Summer opens up about battling shin splints this season, the physical and mental challenges, the adjustments she and her team made, and how she kept expectations high through it all.

    If you love inspiring high school track stories and elite athlete insights, this one is a must watch.
