Fresh off of a 14:23 5k & wins at NXR & Foot Locker South, Keegan Smith joins the podcast to share his story. Keegan is heating up at just the right time. He's looking to complete the dirty double and be one of the first kids in history to win both NXN and Foot Locker. For background on Keegan, Keegan has an incredibly storied prep career, having won 21 National Titles and setting age-group national records before even entering high school. In high school, Keegan made Foot Locker as just a freshman, has since won Foot Locker South, NXR, and has been a Two time Gatorade "Player of the Year" in Tennessee. Keegan holds PRs of 1:51 in the 800m, 4:07 in the Mile, 8:54 in the 2-Mile, and 14:23 for 5k on grass. Keegan announced this week that he signed a NIL deal with HOKA, which we discussed in depth in this conversation. Keegan is committed to run for Colorado this upcoming fall. In today's conversation, Keegan takes me through his journey, the ups and downs of it, being a childhood prodigy, how he's handled pressure over the years, his NIL with HOKA, his ambition for Foot Locker, and so much more. Keegan is one of the most articulate high-schoolers I've ever met and shares a lot of deep, meaningful insights in this conversation today. Do not miss it. Tap into the Keegan Smith Special.
