Wow! It was great to find out what had happened to Leo after the Olympics. The local newspaper does not do justice to the great running talent Austin has, especially Leo Manzano. How often does UT have an track Olympian?
The guys running at the Olympics are pros and older than many of the first-time Olympians. Great to see that Leo is going to work on developing maturity and greatness. We will see him in the next Oympics! Buena suerte!

It would also be great to see him become the "Rod Dixon/Francie Larrieu-Smith" of his era - move up, in due time, from 1500, to 5000/10000, and eventually to halfs/marathons. We're talking over a 15-year span, though, not 2012, nor even 2016. It's a thought, and a wish for good health and prosperity...

Great interview. Don't mind the driving, actually, Leo seems relaxed and opns aup alot rather than being so focused on being an interviewee. I like the lessons he's learned in such a full year that he has had. Especially lessons from "doing the work". ....and of course lessons from Vig....the small steps. Great job Ryan.

I like the driving or the running while interviewing because it shows a natural part of the runners. It also shows the personal relationships that the runners have with the flotrack guys. Keep it up guys, great interviw Ryan

Agreed. Although Leo had a lot of good things to say, interviewing him while he was focusing on driving wasn't the most flattering for him.

Love Leo but this was not a good interview. Shouldn't ask an open question like that where the interviewee is forced to ramble on. Short questions are much better. Kinda boring.
