The Authentic Skylar Watts: More Than TikTok, More Than NXN

Today, we’ll look at the story of Trabuco Hills senior and San Diego State University commit Skylar Watts. Both a silly and very meaningful episode, we dive briefly into Skylar’s Nike Cross Nationals experience, then look at life and experiences as a running content creator, and her mindset on both content creation and on running.
