ABOUT THIS EPISODE
For the second episode of the Throws Chat Podcast, we are moving away from our traditional guest list and inviting a decathlete on as our featured guest this week.
Reinis Kregers, born in Latvia, competed for Kansas State in the combined events. He earned Second Team All-American honors and set multiples PRs during his time as a Wildcat. With a heptathlon personal best of 5534 and a decathlon personal best of 7618, Kregers has seen much success. More recently, Kregers competed at the World University Games in Taipei this summer where he earned a ninth place finish. Kregers also holds the Latvian junior national record in the heptathlon and decathlon.
Perhaps what sets Kregers apart the most is his inspiring story of trials and tribulations. He has faced numerous setbacks that would have discouraged and depleted most, but his spirits and outlook on the sport remain high as he continues to strive for greatness. For any athlete struggling with the mental or physical difficulties as a result of injury, this week's episode is sure to inspire.
