In this episode we enjoy a Conversation with the Eugene, OR, husband-and-wife duo of John and Jennifer Scurlock. With track and field competition set to begin at the Paris Summer Olympics we felt the timing was just right to catch with this pair who were able to see several sessions of the U.S. Olympic Trials at Hayward Field on the University of Oregon campus in Eugene.
Along the way we discuss everything from Olympians from year's past such as Flo Jo and Gail Devers to current members such as local product Jaida Ross (shot put), Sha'Carri Richardson (sprints), Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone (hurdles), Gabby Thomas (sprints), Ryan Crouser (shot put), teenager Quincy Wilson (400 meters), and Noah Lyles (sprints).
And, just because he seems to be everywhere in Paris (and was in Eugene, too), Snoop Dogg is referenced.
