It's The Stride Report's annual "Scratch Reactions" podcast episode! This week, long-time TSR veteran Maura Beattie joins Garrett to chat about the very recent release of the declarations, both scratches and entries, for the NCAA Indoor Championships! Between Nathan Green's stunning decision to scratch the mile, Maggi Congdon's ambitious double, Carley Thomas choosing the 800 meters and Liam Murphy going all-in for the 3k, there was a TON to discuss.
