The picture above is of Robbie Andrews and Josette Norris. Robbie competed in the Rio 2016 Olympics at 1,500m and London 2017 at 1,500m. He has PBs at 800m in 1:44.71, 1,500m of 3:34.79, and a mile in 3:53.16.
Josette Norris surprised many with a fine of 1,500m in 3:59.72 on July 18, 2021. She came back with a 5,000m in 14:51.32.
Both athletes encourage each other, and that is pretty cool. How do you train and compete hard and support the person you love? I think that is pretty amazing. When I see they together, it makes me smile.
