Out of the Blocks with Jasmine Todd And Katelyn Hutchison – Details, episodes & analysis

“I’ve never had a meet where I’ve just been so excited and happy to be there, happy to jump… When I went (to the NACAC Championships), I really wasn’t expecting to jump 13.55m… I heard that and was like, ‘Wow.’ No matter what I jump, I'm always like, ‘It could have been better.’ But I executed that perfectly.”

“It would seem like they’d put a camera on you because you made the team, but I had no idea. It felt like I was out there for ten minutes, just waiting around for them to put up the team. It was probably only like 30 seconds to a minute. But I had no idea when I crossed the line that I’d made the team or that I had ran 12.3. I really didn’t know what to expect when I crossed the finish line. I was hoping for the result that I got, but I had no idea at that moment.”
It took a 12.31s PB in the final to come up clutch and make her first U.S. Olympic team but it happened to cap an incredible comeback for Grace Stark.
In this episode of Out of The Blocks, she talks to with Jasmine Todd on the process to get there, win the NCAA Championships and time her breakout perfectly. She also just officially signed a pro deal with adidas running.

"My body is not fully developed yet. You don't want to do too much. You want to take baby steps to the ultimate goal...I want to still be jumping 18m or 17-high when I'm 30 years old. It's all about the process."

Katelyn Hutchison chats with World U20 triple jump record holder and 2023 Bowerman Award winner Jaydon Hibbert, who just recently announced his decision to turn professional after just one year at the University of Arkansas.

Last year, he broke the NCAA indoor and outdoor triple jump record. His outdoor mark of 17.87m was also the world's best jump of 2023. Unfortunately, he was unable to win gold at the World Championships in Budapest after suffering a hamstring injury during his first jump of the final.

He signed an NIL deal with PUMA but then decided to remain with the brand as he enters his professional career in the Olympic year. He will remain under the guidance of coach Travis Geopfert.
