Pleasure to be joined by Olivia Baker, this week on iHeartRadio. Olivia is having a career year in 2022.

The New Jersey native and Stanford grad is current the 25th ranked 800m runner in the world. She just ran at 1:58:46 at the Toyota USATF Outdoor Championships at Hayward Field in Eugene, OR. Now living in Atlanta and representing the Atlanta Track Club, Olivia has her sights set on improving her world ranking and feels her best times are still to come. She’s had a busy 2022 and there is still half the year to go.

A self-described “nerd” (I wouldn’t call her that), Olivia loves reading and co-hosts a book club on Instagram @runjumpread), along with interests that include watching sports, hiking, and board games.

We were luck enough to catch up with the speedy and gritty Olivia!

She is a seven-time national championship qualifier with a career-best 3rd place finish in the 600m at the 2019 USATF Indoor Championships. Baker was a semi-finalist in the 800m at the 2016 Olympic Trials and qualified for the 2021 Trials. At Stanford, Baker, who has a degree in human biology, was an 11-time All-American. Her personal best of 2:00.08 in the 800m (2018) is the Cardinal’s school record.

A fun and quick talk with Olivia.

More with Keira McCarrell on iHeartRadio this week.

Keira is one busy girl. A redshirt senior at Auburn University, is staying occupied in 2021 with school, track and field and her love of creating works of art.

Rick talks to Keira about combining being in school, running track, throwing the javelin and selling her beautiful artwork, which this holiday season included Christmas cards.

“I was born in British Columbia, Canada, and compete on their national team when presented the opportunity. I was raised in Oregon and transferred from University of Oregon to now Auburn. As a multi athlete, I have always found myself trying new things and doing everything I can to keep myself busy.”

Her artist journey started in high school when she started being very passionate about pottery.

“As I lost my access to a studio I picked up watercolor. My mom suggested I started selling them online and I’ve been doing it ever since. It’s what keeps my mind at ease when I’m constantly thinking about sports and school during the week!

See how Keira does it all and has a shot at the Olympics. Have a listen.
