    On November 19, 2022, Charles Hicks cemented his name into history forever. Not only did he win his first individual title, but he was the first person ever from Stanford to win an individual NCAA title on the grass. What did it take to achieve this monumental accomplishment? A lot of 105-mile weeks, years of sacrifice, belief, and so much more that we cover in today's episode of the podcast. 


    Charles and I sit back and have a conversation surrounding everything it took for him to achieve this dream he set out to accomplish. We discuss the ups, downs, and everything in between! We talk about all who made this possible, the race itself, Ad Astra, and how his teammates have pushed him to be the best version of himself. Needless to say, this is a must-listen podcast!


    Charles and I have been trying to make a podcast happen since July, so we were both thrilled to make this come to life. I hope you all enjoy listening to our conversation as much as we did having it!
