Episode V: Olympian Courtney Frerichs and Her Journey to Success

From University of Missouri-Kansas City to New Mexico to Rio to
London and beyond!


Your hosts David Ribich and fellow Lobo Josh Kerr sit and kick
back in a casual conversation with their first Olympian, Courtney
Frerichs. Courtney is an NCAA record holder, American record
holder, Olympian and World Runner-Up in the Steeplechase. Her
list of accolades is longer than the chipotle receipt your hosts
get after a workout. 


Courtney takes your hosts through the honest journey of her
athletic experience and the decisions that were made to help
cultivate an already astounding young career. Winning her first
NCAA title, making the 2016 Olympic team for the United States,
signing with Nike-Bowerman and then earning silver on the world
stage in London 2017.  


The episode closed with a special segment unique to this episode
called, "Frerichs Favorites" where Courtney had to choose just
one option out of two. Courtney did it as truthful and rapidly as
she could. 


Some teaser questions were:


World Silver Medal or American Record


Proposal at NCAA Cross Country Championships or Winning NCAA
Cross Country Team Title


Joe Franklins (Coach of UNM) Favorite Athlete: Josh Kerr or
Courtney Frerichs
