After two eventful years at the University of Georgia, former Catoctin High sprinting star Brody Buffington is this week's guest on The FInal Score podcast.
Buffington is coming off his best season at Georgia, during which he set personal-best times in the 100 (10.05 seconds) and 200 (20.2) meter dashes and qualified for NCAA nationals in the 200 in Eugune, Oregon.
He chats with host Greg Swatek and about why he ran so well for the Bulldogs this spring and the ordeals he's been through at Georgia in getting to this point.
Buffington talks about the hamstring, abdominal and hip injuries that hampered his first year with the team and completely wiped out his outdoor season last spring. What was the recovery process like?
And he talks about a bizarre incident at a crosswalk with a police officer last September that led to him spending 10 hours in a holding cell before all charges were promptly tossed out in court. What sort of impact did that incident have on him?
Buffington also talks about his future with the Georgia program. What are his goals? How much faster can he get?
Prior to that conversation, FNP sports writer Alexander Dacy joins Greg to discuss the news of the day with Frederick County sports, including a pair of Division I college signings and the Frederick Flying Cows surprising dismissal of coach Ed Corporal after two very successful seasons in The Basketball League.
