In Pursuit Of Greatness: Gatorade Cross-Country Player Of The Year Daniel Simmons' Road to Success

Today on the podcast, I have the great privilege of speaking with the 2022-2023 Gatorade Boys Cross-Country Player Of The Year, Daniel Simmons. Daniel is the fastest junior in the country at the moment and looks to make history every time he steps on the grass or track. Last Fall, he raced to All-America honors by placing second at Nike Cross Nationals in a time of 14:51.7. Perhaps most impressive, he broke course records in each of his last six races and won the Class 6A individual state championship while leading his team to the team title. On the track thus far, he has run 8:34 in the 3200m at the Arcadia Invitational, won state titles, and set meet records. He'll be racing the Brooks PR on June 14. This conversation with Daniel was a ton of fun and very inspiring. Daniel documents his recent two seasons and all the history he made, as well as this track season and ambitions for the future. Join us on this podcast episode to hear Daniel share his incredible journey, his record-breaking triumphs, and his aspirations for the future. Don't miss out on this captivating conversation that will leave you motivated to chase after your own dreams. Tap into the Daniel Simmons Special.
