Eric Holt's Dream Comes True And Signs A Pro Contract With PUMA | CITIUS MAG LIVE FROM EUGENE!

“I'm very optimistic. I’m going into the 800 ready to showcase my new speedsuit and I’m ready to show everyone what I can do as a pro. My goal is to PR in every event. I don’t want people to think now that I’m pro I’m not going to get better. I feel like I’ll continue to improve and I’m super excited.”  Eric Holt joins us live in Eugene to announce his pro contract with PUMA after racing at the 2024 U.S. Olympic Trials. Eric shares about his path to finally turning pro, how having a pro contract + extra income will improve his career, how he’s handled all the recent media attention, and breaks down what his typical race strategy is. Hear more from Eric and what’s next for his running career in this episode of the CITIUS MAG Podcast.
