🗣️ “It’s taken a mindset shift from just trying to make it there to now being like, ‘No, I belong in it. I will put myself in it and I will race like I belong.’”

Just days ago in Boston, riley_chamberlain04 ran 4:20.61 for the mile, breaking the NCAA record. She joined the CITIUS MAG Podcast to share about her steady progression that led to her breakthrough, how cross country laid the strength foundation for her range from the 800m all the way to the 5K, and the training dynamic at byutrackfieldxc, where working alongside teammates like janehedengren means getting pushed every single day.

🎙️ She reflects on the program’s culture of what they call “high expectations, high love,” the lessons she’s carried from past teammates, and the mindset shift from hoping she belonged at the top level to knowing she does.

Riley is now an NCAA record holder. But as you’ll hear, she believes the most important races are still ahead.
