Our discussion around the upcoming Summer Olympics continues and who better to join us for this chat, than someone who actually competed in the Olympics themselves. Carrie Tollefson was standout runner at Dawson-Boyd high school here in MN where she was a 13-time state champion. She has been inducted into both the Minnesota high school hall of fame as well as the national high school hall of fame. Carrie attended Villanova University where she was a 5-time NCAA champion and the 1998 NCAA Indoor Track athlete of the year. In her post collegiate career she was a three time national champion and after winning the 1500m trials in 2004 she competed in the 2004 Olympic games in Athens.
Carrie now spends here time doing some on air work for running events for various networks, has her own podcast and is a married mom to three children. My friend Jared Carver joins me again for this episode as we talk with Carrie about the stress of making the Olympics, what her Olympic experience was like and walking into the opening ceremonies with men’s basketball team and LeBron James.
