Is Centro Back? Nico Young's Range, Colin Sahlman (Guest), Sydney's Debut, and a Much Better World Relays

Colin Sahlman, the NCAA 1500m star for NAU joins us at 66:21 as our guest.

Before that we break down the latest in the track and field world where the tiny Oxy Invitional saw the 2023 debut of Sydney McLaughlin, and a hot 1500m where Nico Young took down milers Matthew Centrowitz and Colin Sahlman, but is Centro Back?

The revamped World Relays was a hit with Olympic qualification on the line, and the US won 3 of the 4 races, with Ireland's Rhasidat Adeleke, and Lestile Tebogo turning heads. Noah Lyles and Team USA delivered should they run it back at the Olympics?
