Show notes

Docs is still out of town! Farley and Joanna bring in guest host Scott Silverstein to help during Docs absence. Silverstein is the head track coach at Churchill High School in Montgomery County and a panel member who selects the All Runwashington team. The guys need his expertise because the guests this week are, drum roll please…. National Class High School runners Brandon McGorty and Rachel McArthur! McGorty (Chantilly HS) and McArthur (Patriot HS) talk about running at their Northern Virginia High Schools, the process of choosing a college, some of their amazing performances over the years, mean mugging at a Washington Post photo shoot, and we even talk about McArthur’s boyfriend in a mostly not awkward way. We close the show by telling you 2 articles you must read about former guests and only make 1 mention about how hot it is in the studio (110 degrees).

Then Farley talks about books and bumps, Luigi visits the vet, the Capital Challenge and Docs is sad about the loss of Chris Cornell.
