SAN MARCOS, Texas – In the newest States Up podcast, track and field's Sedrickia Wynn and Elisabet Runarsdottir look ahead to their first career appearances at the NCAA Outdoor Championships next week in Austin as well as back at their careers so far that helped them get there.
 
Both Wynn and Runarsdottir won Sun Belt individual championships this outdoor season, which helped the women's team finish runner-up in the team standings. Wynn won two individual titles and helped with a 4x100 title while Runarsdottir captured the women's hammer throw – the same event she will compete in at the national championships – in her first year at Texas State.
 
Wynn has enjoyed a breakout campaign in her final year as a Bobcat. The sprinter and hurdler has won five Sun Belt championships (two in indoor, three in outdoor) and set six school records. She also won the conference's top track performer award during the indoor season and put up 28.5 points at the outdoor meet. She will compete in the national championships in the 100 meter hurdles.
 
In the podcast, Wynn shares the goals she outlined before the season began – which she kept on her phone's lock screen all year – as well her coming up in track with a relatively late start in life. Runarsdottir, meanwhile, shares her experience with throws in her home country of Iceland as well as her experience transitioning to the United States and college sports.

The podcast can be heard on Spotify, Apple, Amazon Music, and Google.
 
Fans can also access the podcast at txst.com/podcasts.

Hosted by Brant Freeman, the new States Up podcast is focused on the personalities that make up Texas State, from athletes to coaches to more, and allows fans to get to know the people they cheer for and watch compete even more. 

New episodes of the States Up podcast will return in late July.
