Today on the show is Malachi Schoenherr!
Malachi Schoenherr returns to The Sunday Shakeout! The last time he was on the show, Malachi recently raced the Jesuit Mile in 4:10 this past spring. Since then, Malachi won the Oregon 6A State Championship in the 3K, running 8:14. Malachi also ran 14:27 in the 5K on the track and he recently became a part of the Nike Elite Program.
The National Scholastic Athletics Foundation (NSAF), in partnership with USA Track & Field (USATF), launched the Nike Elite Program in 2023. This groundbreaking initiative is designed to provide top-tier support for the best high school track and field athletes in the United States, helping them reach their goals and potential.
Through the program, each athlete receives holistic support and guidance from a Nike mentor and have opportunities to connect with Nike’s professional athletes. Nike also provides the program’s athletes with its leading footwear and apparel innovations for training and competition. Additionally, athletes get support to compete in key events throughout the year, such as Nike Indoor Nationals, Nike Outdoor Nationals, and other prestigious meets like the Millrose Games, Oregon Relays, Arcadia, Mt. SAC Invitationals, and the USATF U20 Championships.
The Nike Elite Program supports 40 high school athletes annually, covering a wide range of track and field disciplines. The program begin in July with an immersion event at Nike’s World Headquarters in Beaverton, Oregon.
Today Malachi and I discuss what it is like to be a part of the Nike Elite Program and the immersion event. We also talk about his goals and thoughts on now having higher expectations going into junior year, and much more.
