Olympians Clayton A. Young (BS ’19, MS ’22) and Conner B. Mantz (BS ’22) are competitors—but they’re also close friends. Both BYU alumni will be running the Olympic marathon on Aug. 10, but they’ve been keeping stride with each other for years.

In this episode of the Y Magazine podcast, host Whitney Singley Archibald (BA ’01) talks with Young and Mantz about the 2024 Paris Olympics, their friendship, the competition, and their faith.

This episode is based on the article “Fast Feats” written by R. Jeffrey Call (BA ’94) that will appear in the summer 2024 issue of Y Magazine.

Listen to or read the BYU Devotional “Wrestling With Comparisons“ by J.B. Haws.

Check out another episode on exercise and wellness: “Lifelong Wellness.”

More on beauty and mundanity: “Artful Parenting: How to Make Creativity Part of Your Family Culture.”
