Track Talk and Hot Takes with Dominique Smith and Matthew Parker

Share this article:

The track and field world is being set ablaze by incredible performances early on this season. Each division of track and field has seen incredible and even a few record breaking performances, and it’s only April.

A few notable performances include Kentucky’s Abby Steiner, who ran 10.92 at the Joe May Invitational in Baton Rouge. Her time is the fifth fastest time in NCAA history.

Fred Kerely continued his hot start at the USATF Golden Games at Mt. Sac this past weekend. His time of 19.80 in the men’s 200m is the fastest time in the world so far. At the same meet, Elaine Thompson-Herah recorded the fastest time in the world in the women’s 100m, running 10.89 in the preliminary rounds. She did not compete in the finals.

Valarie Allman continues to dominate in the discus. She broke her own American record with her 71.46-meter throw in early April. 

On the high school scene, postseason play is underway and state champions will soon be crowned. Athletes such as junior Zyiare Nuriddin have lit up the track with electrifying times, including his time of 45.78 in the 400m.

Matthew Parker joins me to talk all these things in more in this edition of Track Talk and Hot Takes.

I’m a sports journalist based in Florida and I’ve covered a couple of different sports so far early on in my career, but I love the sport of track and field and the art of running. Everyone has a story and everyone has a story worth telling. My prayer is that the stories of the great athletes of this sport are told, and that the sport grows to new creative heights, so that the sport gets the respect it deserves.
