From California Track Star To NCAA All-American: The Incredible Story Of Mia Barnett

Today Mia Barnett joins the podcast! Mia is a sophomore who attends and competes for The University of California Los Angeles (UCLA), where she has cemented herself as one of the top female distance runners in the NCAA. Prior to transferring to UCLA, Mia ran for the University of Virginia, where she was an All-American and one of the top runners in the ACC. She became just the second athlete in UVA history to be named ACC Freshman of the Year. She holds PRs of 2:06.11 in the 800m, 4:10.23 in the 1500m, 4:33.54 in the Mile, and 9:14.28 in the 3k. This conversation was informative and extremely fun! Mia and I go from ordinary running subjects to philosophical topics making this a wide-ranging discussion that I walked away from a better version of myself. Mia is an extremely ebullient individual making this conversation very enjoyable. I can't wait to see her tear it up the rest of this NCAA season and beyond. So tune in to today's conversation for an inspiring and informative discussion that is sure to leave you feeling ready to tackle the next challenge in your life!
