Former Lobo Josh Kerr preps for Summer Olympics

Josh Kerr, the Brooks Beasts runner, is a little more than a month away from competing in the 2024 Summer Olympics.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Josh Kerr, the Brooks Beasts runner, is a little more than a month away from competing in the 2024 Summer Olympics. 

Kerr was a standout athlete for the University of New Mexico, winning three national championships and setting the collegiate record in the 1500-meters.

This last year, he’s become a 2023 outdoor 1500-meters World Champion (3:29.38), indoor 2024 3,000-meters World Champion (7:42.98), and the British mile record holder (3:45.34).  

Now he’s looking for gold in the 1500-meters this summer in Paris, France.  

Kerr reflected on what it’s like to work out back in Albuquerque during his different training camps with the Brooks Beasts running club. 

You can catch the exclusive story on Josh Kerr’s journey to gold later this week on KOB 4.
