A Conversation With The Greatest High School Runner In Nebraska History: Juan Gonzalez | Insights From His Successful Prep Career

Today on the podcast is Juan Gonzalez! 

Fresh off of a win at NXR in a time of 14:34 for the 5k, Juan comes on the podcast to share his story and ambitions for the rest of the season. 

Juan is undoubtedly the greatest high school runner in the history of Nebraska. 

Juan is a 3xState XC Champion, the 3200 & 1600m State Champion, and the Record Holder. He placed 3rd at NXR Heartland, and won this year. Last year at the Foot Locker Cross Country National Championships, Juan placed 10th in the country.

He's run 1:53 in the 800m, 4:08 in the 1600m, 8:47 in the 3200m, and 14:33 in the 5k.  

Juan is crystal clear about his goals and wants to win a title at Balboa Park this year. Juan represents the Midwest region and will look to add to their long legacy of winners. 

You can catch Juan race the FL Midwest Regional on November 30 and then two weeks later on December 14 for a chance at history at the FL Cross Country National Championships. 

In today's conversation, Juan goes through his historic season thus far, being the best to ever do it in Nebraska history, his ambitions for Foot Locker 2024, what he wants his legacy in the sport to be, and so much more.
