Tim Nelson - Going All In
As fans file into the Lavern Gibson Cross Country course, eager to spectate the best D3 distance running has to offer in 2024, they’ll be walking by a banner that features Tim Nelson, the 2012 champion forever immortalized on the course.
On that day in November, Tim went out hard. Pushing from the front from the first step, he built a seemingly insurmountable lead.
Entering the famous final stretch, the effort showed, he was losing steam. Fans held their breath wondering if he had done enough to win. He had. The win punctuated a career that saw the UW Stout distance runner go on a streak rarely seen in D3 history.
From being the 4th man to break 14 outdoors, to not losing a title his final track and cross country season, we cover it all on this episode.
