Alex Morgan and Lolo Jones

The invite for yesterday’s Degree event read, “Dress comfortably, you’ll have a chance to join Alex and Lolo as they test their personal limits.”  Challenge accepted.  The women the Degree team were referring to happened to be Alex Morgan, a gold medal winning soccer player and Lolo Jones, a track and field world champion.  After putting their latest passions to the test (paddle boarding and bob sledding), I chatted with each of them about their careers, partnering with the Degree Do More Campaign and new fitness challenges.
