The first interview is with former San Mateo HS, U. of Arizona and 1996 Olympian in the 5000m., Matt Giusto. He was the winner of the 1993 Kinney (before it became Footlocker) national championship race in San Diego. Giusto had finished 3rd at the Western Regional and upset several of the favorites to win the title. On a side note, I was a freshman in the same league (not caliber of runner believe me) as Giusto when he was a senior and I am sure he lapped me a few times in the 3200 . I can say I only got lapped by the best!
Q&A with Matt Giusto
The second interview is with the original Jordan Hasay, former Santa Rosa HS and Stanford runner Julia Stamps. The reason I compare her to Jordan Hasay is because Stamps was also a dominant runner in the middle school who continued her spectacular running in high school. She was also the one to beat in any race she entered.
Q&A with Julia (Stamps) Mallon
The third runner interviewed is Sara (Bei) Hall who is still competing at a very high level to this day. She ran at Montgomery HS and yet another Jordan Hasay comparison, she is the only runner in CA state history to win a cross country title in each of her four years in high school. Hall went on to compete at Stanford University and is still one of the best 1500m. runners in the United States. She also married some random guy (ha!) who happens to also be a pretty fair runner himself as well as a former national champion. His interview is linked below.
