About this listen

This week BK has in studio Adriane Wilson.

Adriane (Blewitt) Wilson is originally from Boardman, Ohio and now lives in Columbia, South Carolina. She is a 13X NCAA Div II All American (7 National titles, 6 Runner up honors) in the shot put, discus, hammer, and indoor weight throw. She continued training for the 2004, 2008, and 2012 US Olympic Trials after graduating with an education degree. 2004 was probably her best time in her career to make the US Olympic Team but in September of 2003 she was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma and went through 6 months of chemotherapy during a crucial training period leading up to the Olympic Games in Athens, Greece. She finished 5th at the 2004 US Trials 3 months after her last chemo treatment and continued to train through the next two Olympiads. As she transitioned from the shot put, she started competing in the Scottish Highland Games and went on to win 6 World titles and captured many world records in the heavy events. She actively competes in the women's pro and women's masters classes today. Adriane is a personal trainer at Athlete's Arena and coaches adapted sport for Team Army and Team USA Paralympic athletes.
