Welcome back to Beyond the Finish Line, powered by the Illinois Running News Podcast Network. I’m your host, Brayden Domont, and today we’ve got a fascinating conversation for all you track & field die‑hards, media nerds, and anyone curious about what it takes to cover the sport from the inside.

My guest today is Andrew Brown — the guy behind social media for MileSplit, FloTrack, MileSplit Carolinas, and some of the nation’s top track & field meets. He’s been in the trenches, running media operations, building digital platforms, and telling stories about the people who put it all on the line.

We dig deep into how he got his start doing media coverage while at Furman, and what it was like being thrust into the moment when he got to be on the track just as Grant Fisher shattered the indoor 5,000m world record. We talk about the pressure, the logistics, the split‑second decisions, and so much more behind the scenes of covering a world‑record performance.

So whether you’re an athlete, coach, meet promoter, or just someone curious about how digital media and live meets intertwine — this one’s for you.

Let’s get into it.
