Spring is the time when many Native athletes dust off their running shoes and compete in events like the 400-meter sprint, hurdles, relay, high jump, and shot put. Today on Native America Calling, we speak with Kutoven “Ku” Stevens (Yerington Paiute), cross country runner at the University of Oregon; Ahli-sha Stephens (Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians), Cherokee High School head track and field coach and head cross country coach (boys and girls); Tiajhae Nez (Navajo), Haskell Indian Nations University sophomore and long-distance runner; and Jeremy Bockus (Blackfeet), Haskell Indian Nations University freshman and middle distance runner.
