Dynamic Tennessee Sprint Group Joins Social Kick Podcast (Video Interview)
With the championship season rapidly approaching, the University of Tennessee has reason to be pumped. The Volunteers boast a quartet that should make significant noise at the Southeastern Conference Championships, and then the NCAA Champs. This week, the Social Kick Podcast welcomed Tennessee’s potent relay foursome to discuss the recent World Short Course Championships and the college scene.
Joining the Social Kick crew were Jordan Crooks, Gui Caribe, Nikoli Blackman and Lamar Taylor. It is a unique international group, with Caribe hailing from Brazil and Crooks (Cayman Islands), Blackman (Trinidad & Tobago) and Taylor (Bahamas) representing Caribbean nations. All four athletes raced at the World Short Course Champs, where Crooks (world record) and Caribe went gold-silver in the 50 freestyle. Meanwhile, Blackman and Taylor posted personal-best times, and gathered momentum for the collegiate postseason.
Social Kick hosts Luke Paddington and John Mullen had a good time chatting with the Tennessee sprint group, and covered topics such as how the foursome arrived in Knoxville and what training looks like for the Volunteers. Enjoy this unique interview with a squad featuring big expectations for the end of the college campaign.
Swimming World is thrilled to partner with the Social Kick Podcast to provide fans around the world with superb interviews with some of the sport’s biggest names.
