On this week's episode of Outside the Oval, host Gavin Frick is joined by three notable names throughout the Texas running community. First, Texas A&M's Jonathan Chung, a 2022 NCAA Cross Country National Championship Qualifier, joins the show and breaks down his magical season, as well as his experiences as a high school runner in Texas. One of the most prominent members of the DFW running scene, James Allen shares how he developed his passion for the sport, the story behind re-igniting the growing Celina Runners running club and how he came to be co-running multiple other run clubs across the DFW metro area. And to close out this special episode, the Texas Track Dad discusses how he became a household name in the Texas Track and Field community. This, and a whole lot more on this week's trip Outside the Oval.
