539. Friendship Fest with Jasmine Todd & Katelyn Hutchison

539. Friendship Fest with Jasmine Todd & Katelyn Hutchison

"I'm a track athlete and I'm doing full-time something else, and people feel like they can't do both. But I feel like me and Jasmine, and a few others, are definitely showing that's possible. I feel like we're definitely paving our own way in the sport."

Jasmine Todd is a professional long jumper and sprinter. Katelyn Hutchison is a 400m runner and three-time All-American who just finished running for Ithaca College, and is now headed to the University of Kentucky to finish out her NCAA eligibility. These two dynamic (and fast!) women just met for the first time three weeks ago — and they are already the best of friends.

In this conversation, Jasmine and Katelyn talk about meeting at USATF Outdoor Championships and forming an immediate bond. They talk about their experience in the mixed zone with Citius Mag, interviewing professional athletes, and about what they hope to bring to this sport. They share their best stories from USAs (including getting that coveted Sha'Carri Richardson interview), and talk about their big dreams and goals for World Athletics Championships (starting this week!), and more.
