Sprint To Success Speed Clinic featuring LaShawn Merritt will take place June 13-14 in Steubenville at Franciscan University of Steubenville. 

Merritt, a 3-time Olympian, 3-time Olympic Gold Medalist and one of the sport's all-time great quarter-milers, will offer an in-depth two day clinic in collaboration with the Ja'Quan Lavender Foundation to help foster skill sharpening and character development for athletes at the youth, middle school and high school levels. 

To set the table for what is sure to be a riveting and educational endeavor, Merritt joined us for an interview to provide context on his track background, to highlight the goals and objectives of the clinic and to explain what attending athletes can expect during their experience.
