American Record Holder Bryce Hoppel Shares Insights From Running 1:41 & Placing 4th At The Olympics + Stories From His 2xNCAA Titles & 21 Race Win Streak

Today on the podcast, I am joined by newly minted American Record Holder Bryce Hoppel!

Bryce holds the American Record in the 800m, having run 1:41.67 in the Olympic final. 

Byrce is the 2024 World Indoor Championship Gold Medalist. He's also a 2xOlympian and 2xNCAA Champ where he had a 21 race win streak.

Bryce won the 2016 Texas 6A State Track & Field Championship with a time of 1:49.67, including an undefeated season in the 800 meters. 

He then went on to Kansas, where he was a five-time All-American, two-time National Champion, and four-time Big 12 Champion. In 2019, Hoppel completed a sweep of both the indoor and outdoor NCAA 800m titles, becoming the first male from the University of Kansas to win an NCAA title in the event. Hoppel's 21 race unbeaten streak began during the indoor season in 2019, lasting until the USATF Outdoor Championships on July 25.

Bryce competes professionally for Adidas and The Very Nice Track Club, based out of Ann Arbor, Michigan. 

In today's conversation, Bryce takes me through his Olympic performance, where he ran an American Record, the state of the 800m as an event, doping in sport, his dominant years at Kansas, joining VNTC, and much more!

This one was a ton of fun and had a ton of wisdom in it. Do not miss this conversation!
