We're highlighting the Bowerman Track Club throughout the week with content focusing on some of the best U.S. distance runners in history. Episode 1 of Driven: Evan Jager reflects on how the golden-haired wonder became the best American male steeplechaser ever. Along with race videos of some of your favorite BTC stars, we'll count down the 10 best Jerry Schumacher-coached athletes of all-time.

The second episode of Driven: Evan Jager covers the infamous Paris Diamond League meet in 2015, where Jager crushed the American record but not without an ill-timed tumble over the final barrier. Jager discusses that unbelievable performance and how a shortcoming at the 2015 World Championships fueled him for his breakthrough in 2016. Speaking of American records, we're replaying Shelby Houlihan's 14:34 5,000m race from 2018 as well.

Evan Jager passes the FloFilm baton off to former teammate and new coach Shalane Flanagan, who was preparing to make her fourth Olympic team when we filmed our two-part series on the distance legend back in 2016. Shalane Flanagan: The Trials Of episode one covers the Olympic silver medalist's early introduction to the sport of running.
Thursday, April 16
Episode two of Shalane Flanagan: The Trials Of tells the story of Flanagan's crowning achievement on the track: her Olympic silver in Beijing. We'll also throw it back to last summer at the Sunset Tour in LA with race videos featuring Kate Grace and Shelby Houlihan running sub-2:00 800m and Lopez Lomong flashing his wicked kick in the 5,000m.
Friday, April 17
We end Bowerman week with a focus on one of the young, ascendent talents in the group: Karissa Schweizer. We followed the recent 3,000m U.S. record breaker back in 2017 when she was still in college at Missouri. Our film takes you inside Schweizer's surprising star turn at the 2016 NCAA XC Championships, where her rise to international stardom began.
And if all that isn't enough, we have track and field on a nonstop, 24/7 loop on our FloTrack 24/7 stream.
