This week, THE WASH’d RUNNER had the pleasure of sitting down with @juliaa_couchh and talking about her years of experience in the sport.

Julia shared why she chose the 400 last Spring, the importance of her relationship with her coach, and how she overcomes racing anxiety. Not only is she a three-time state champ but she is also a three-sport athlete, playing basketball in the winter. The senior, known for her strong finish, is looking to finish her high school career strong before joining the Oregon State squad this Fall.
