Metro East Sports Podcast


Season 5; Episode 24. Featuring: Brian Mulhall, Brylee Proffitt, Zoe Byron, and Mia Heiser

August 05, 2024

Brian Mulhall is back to talk about the Edwardsville Rotary Criterium Festival, which will take place on Saturday August 17 in downtown Edwardsville, and which will include food and beverages, entertainment, and, of course, bike races for everyone. The event, which raises money for the Edwardsville Rotary, was begun in 2010, and is part of the Illinois Cup series. Mulhall talks about the work involved in organizing the event and what "keeps him up at night."

Next up, our MESPY winner for Girls Bowler of the Year, Brylee Proffitt of Triad High School, stops by the talk about her 8th place finish at state, the highest of any girl from the Metro East last year. Proffitt describes her start in the sport, what people don't "get about bowling," and her future as "hopefully" a collegiate bowler next year.

Finally, Dave discusses the recently completed Edwardsville Futures Men's Pro Circuit Tennis Tournament with media interns Zoe Byron and Mia Heiser, college students at Florida Golf Coast University and Grand Canyon University. The two share insight into their responsibilities throughout the event and a few of their best memories.
