Joe Kovacs on his new 23.13m WORLD LEAD in the shot put at Pre Classic

Joe Kovacs on his 23.13m world lead in the shot put and overall Prefontaine Classic effort. I spoke with the back to back champ about wanting more throws over 23 meters and how he’s preparing for the U.S. Olympic Trials. We also get into his life as dad and why Grant Holloway is the first person he’d call to borrow $100.

About Me: I’ve been working in the track and field media space for over a decade. I went from track athlete to student-athlete reporter, to full-time journalist, with both my degrees in Sports Journalism from Michigan State University while competing on the varsity team.

I’ve worked with the best of the best in track and field and other mainstream sports at events like the NBA Draft, Millrose Games, Prefontaine Classic and Junior Olympics for The Players' Tribune, USA Track and Field, World Athletics, MileSplit and more. I've also gotten the opportunity to cover bucket list events like the U.S. Olympic Trials.

I understand the importance of telling stories the right way and I’m closing the gap by sharing different perspectives and spotlighting all types of people, athletes and journeys.
