Jessica Beard of Texas AM and #1 in US

null

Last weekend Jessica Beard ran a nation leading 52.27 for 400 meters and is well ahead of where she was at this time last year. After coming off of a great sophomore season and a trip to the World Championships in Berlin (her Berlin Interview), Jessica finds herself as the favorite in the NCAA and on the watch for the Bowerman Award. She talks with us about goals this year, how her experience in Berlin has changed her perspective and the difference in her as a 400 meter runner as compared to younger years.

Jessica will compete today outside of her specialty as she drops down to the 60 and 200 meter races at the Texas A&M Challenge. Watch her LIVE on Flotrack today!
