Paige Drake: Navigating Hurdles On & Off The Track

In this episode of the Braun Performance & Rehab Podcast, Dan is joined by Paige Drake to discuss her journey in Track & Field.

Paige Drake is a Division I athlete on the Women’s Track & Field team at Saint Francis University, where she’s currently a junior majoring in Nursing. Originally from the Pittsburgh, PA area, Paige has balanced the intense demands of collegiate athletics with a rigorous academic program—while also overcoming significant challenges with back pain along the way.

In the 2023–2024 season, Paige has put up standout performances on the track. She placed fourth in the long jump at the NEC Outdoor Championships with a personal-best mark of 5.45m and helped secure a fourth-place finish in the 4x100m relay, clocking in at 48.08—good for ninth-best in Saint Francis history. She also competed at the Colonial Relays, where her 4x200 relay team ran a time of 1:43.87, the sixth-fastest in program history. Earlier in the season, she anchored a first-place finish in the 4x100 relay at the York College Twilight Meet.

In today’s episode, we talk about her athletic journey, her experience navigating back pain, and what it takes to balance nursing school with high-level competition.
