Summary
In today's conversation, we speak with PJ Austin of the United States, a multiple time All-American in the 60m, 100m, 4x100 and Long Jump while in the NCAA, and has since gone on to represent the USA at the 2025 and 2026 World Relays. PJ was one of the fastest sprinters coming out of Florida having run a personal best of 9.89 seconds in the 100m, and shortly after graduating, he turned professional and began competing around the world at various meets on the circuit. Early in May, PJ ran anchor leg on Team USA’s 4x100m relay which won Gold at the 2026 World Relays in Botswana in a time of 37.43 seconds, one of the fastest relay times in history. This came on the heels of him competing at various meets across Africa including in Kenya, Botswana and South Africa. In our conversation, discuss the 2026 World Relays, including PJ being selected for the team, the practice before hand, and running the anchor leg for Team USA. PJ also explains what he learned from competing at Florida, his transition to the professional world, and now training under Dennis Mitchell and the Star Athletics group along with Kenny B, Courtney Lindsey, Christian Coleman and others. Finally, we breakdown PJs 100m race, including where he is most looking to improve and his goals for the 2026 season and beyond. ------------------------------------------- 📱Twitter: https://x.com/EmeroleAnderson 🎥 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheFinalLeg 📱Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/atkoeme/ 🎧Subscribe and leave a review on Apple Podcasts ------------------------------------------- Chapters: 00:00 Intro 01:28 Start of the 2026 Season 02:30 Experience at 2026 World Relays 04:17 Competing in Africa 06:43 Running the 4x100 09:33 World Relays Heats & Final breakdown 15:47 Competing on high quality relay…
