We held a silver medal, and it was heavy! Not ours. It belonged to today’s guest, Paralympian Taylor Swanson. She actually came back from Paris with a bronze medal too.

We’ll talk with the Roosevelt High graduate about her love of running and what people don’t understand about being a Paralympic athlete.
