THE RUNNING EFFECT PODCAST The Call Room Rising Stars: Patrick Koon On Winning His 6th State Championship, Training Stories, & Hopes Of Winning A National Title
Today on The Call Room Rising Stars is the one and only Patrick Koon (aka King Koon).
If you're not familiar with Patrick, he has been on an absolute tear over the past few years. He holds PRs of 8:44.95 (3200m), 14:11.92 (5k), and 4:14.3 (Mile). He's a 3xFHSAA 3A XC state champ and 2xFHSAA Track State Champ. He was a 2021 Footlocker National Qualifier and holds State Records in the 3200m and 5000m. Patrick was also the 2022-2023 Flordia Boys Cross Country Player Of The Year. Patrick is committed to run for Stanford University next Fall.
In today's conversation, I give Patrick a new nickname, he recaps his season, including his state meet that he won the day we recorded, his plans for FL Regionals, his thoughts on Nationals, and much more. Anytime King Koon comes on the podcast, it is a banger, and today is no exception.
Tune in to hear from one of the brightest young stars in the nation before he tackles the postseason.
