RUNNING WEDNESDAYS WITH RICK SYPERT (EP 2) FEATURING SOPHIA YON

With the calendar quickly turning through April, the high school track and field season is heating up.  With only four weeks of guaranteed running left for teams, it’s time now to make the final push towards the postseason.  The talent pool in the sport runs deep in the YSN family.  Luckily we have a track guru to help us sort it all out.  On Running Wednesday Boardman Girls Track Coach Rick Sypert joins Anthony Hartwig to break down all the Track & Field action in the area. This week they take a dive into the results of the Mahoning county championships, talk to Sophia Yon from Lowellville, and preview the week ahead.

Sophia Yon may just be the best distance runner in the region.  However, getting herself there hasn’t been an easy feat.  Yon has had to battle not only physical adversity, but also even tougher mental adversity.  She has truly learned how to positively talk to herself to help her confidence and mental strength.  Yon will continue her track career after high school in the Big 10. attending Purdue University to pursue not only glory on the track but also a career in engineering.  Check out a great Episode of Running Wednesdays only on YSN!
