Episode 7 - Patrick Watson

4:55 in the 1600, and 10:09 for 3200, those were the high school PRs of Stevenson University’s Patrick Watson, the 2019 Division 3 Cross Country Champion. From not qualifying for the meet his freshman, to finishing 15th there his Junior year - Patrick had been visualizing this win for the last 12 months. He began to pull away effortlessly at 5k, and never looked back.

In our first interview with a current D3 athlete, Patrick walks us through how he went from an unheralded high school athlete, to division three national champion. He gave us insight into how his race played out, and filled us in on where he’s going from here.
