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
