Episode description

In this episode, we sit down with Doug Case, the new head coach of Arkansas men's track and field, to get to know the man taking the baton from longtime leader Chris Bucknam. After 18 years as Bucknam's top assistant, Case steps into the head role with deep roots in one of the most successful programs in college track history.

Over his career, Case has helped develop Olympic gold medalists, World Champions, Bowerman Award winners, and NCAA title holders, and now he shares how he plans to build forward while honoring the legacy of Razorback track and field. We talk about his vision for the program, how he's navigating the rapidly changing college athletics landscape, and why work ethic and loyalty have been central to his coaching journey.

Plus, Doug gives us a peek behind the curtain—including a surprising, lesser-known talent that's helped him succeed at the highest level of the sport.

A thoughtful, revealing conversation with one of the most respected minds in track and field as he begins a new chapter in Fayetteville.
