America's Premier 800m Team - Catching up with Atlanta Track Club at USAs with Allie Wilson, Olivia Baker, and Yolanda Ngarambe

More Than Running with Dana Giordano

You may know the Atlanta Track Club best from the 2020 Olympic Marathon Trials BUT the team has been developing a dominance in the middle distance events under the coaching guidance of Amy and Andrew Begley. I had the opportunity to sit down in the Adidas house at the USA championship in this mini-episode to learn more about what magic is being developed down in Atlanta with Allie Wilson, Olivia Baker, and Yolanda Ngarambe.

Allie Wilson was a recent guest on More Than Running and I know Olivia Baker from way back when in NJ! Both Allie and Olivia competed in the 800m at USAs. Allie placed 4th in 1:58.35 and Olivia placed 5th in 1:58.63. Yolanda Ngarambe competes for Sweden and was acting as "coach" for the weekend to support her teammates.

Enjoy this short fun conversation (in-between rounds at USAs) where we get a sense of the ATL culture and some rapid-fire fun questions.
