Edward Cheserek

In 2023, the CITIUS MAG Podcast will try to bring you a weekly podcast that unpacks some of the biggest news stories and headlines in track and field with our team's own commentary, analysis and occasionally jokes.

In this episode Chris Chavez, Kyle Merber and Jasmine Todd cover:

– What are we most excited and optimistic about in 2023?

– Houston Half Marathon fields were announced ahead of its running on Jan. 15. U.S. recorder holder Emily Sisson headlines the women's field but will be up against Hiwot Gebrekidan and Tirunesh Dibaba. Fan favorites Conner Mantz and Edward Cheserek are in the men's field but face three East African men who have broken 60 minutes. Vanessa Fraser and Jenny Simpson will be making their debuts at 13.1 miles.

– What events are you looking forward to at the New Balance Indoor Grand Prix on Feb. 3 and Millrose Games on Feb. 11th.

– 'Buy or Sell' features a discussion on World Athletics' Olympic qualifying standards, Handicap Races, World Cross Country Mixed Gender Relay, the Devon Allen rule change and the closing of The Wild Duck.

Pat Tiernan is a two-time Olympian from Australia. He ran for Villanova and won the NCAA Cross Country title in 2016. We dive into Pat winning Bix, taking down Edward Cheserek, collapsing from heat exhaustion at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, doing his first beer mile at age 17, leaving Nike (Oregon Track Club) and signing with Puma, his upcoming wedding, Australia vs USA culture, and a whole lot more. 

He also provides commentary as we rewatch the most epic race in college running: the 2015 Penn Relays 4 by Mile. Pat was Villanova's 3rd leg in the race, handing off to Jordy Williamsz to square off against Edward Cheserek of Oregon. Watch the race here: https://youtu.be/lvoo6KQCWic
