Harvard's Graham Blanks On Placing 2nd At NCAAs, Alcohol, Napoleon Dynamite, & Philosophy

Harvard's Graham Blanks On Placing 2nd At NCAAs, Alcohol, Napoleon Dynamite, & Philosophy

Today on the podcast is Harvard legend and up and coming NCAA star Graham Blanks.


Graham Blanks is a remarkable athlete who competes for Harvard University. He has achieved tremendous success in his career. In 2022, he earned USTFCCA All-American status for his top-15 finish at the NCAA Championship Meet and placed an impressive 6th overall. Blanks was named USTFCCA Northeast Regional Athlete of the Year, won the NCAA Northeast Regional Championship, and received All-Ivy First Team honors. Before Harvard, he excelled at Athens Academy, where he was a Georgia Gatorade Boys Cross Country Runner of the Year and a two-time GHSA cross country state champion. Blanks continues to leave his mark in the world of athletics with his exceptional performances.


Most recently, Graham placed 6th in the 10k and 2nd in the 5k at the 2023 NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships in Austin, Texas.


Today's conversation with Graham is extremely enjoyable. We go from talking about his upbringing in the sport, NCAA accomplishments, to voting for Pedro (iykyk), alcohol in college sports, and more. This conversation was inspiring, but also provided many laughs along the way. Needless to say, this is an all-time episode and the perfect episode to kick off your week.
