Hurdler Joseph Holthusen is wrapping up a standout career with the Shockers. We talk about his football roots, the importance of family and Luke Holthusen, his brother and future Shocker.

We discuss how Holthusen worked through an injury that cost him much of the 2022 season. We also talk about "Survival," a board game he developed and sells, a recruiting snub and the generation gap he encounters as a redshirt senior.

 
The AAC Championships begin Friday in San Antonio and Holthusen ranks first in the conference in the 110-meter hurdles with a time of 13.84 seconds.
 
Holthusen attended Bishop Carroll Catholic High School where he won football and track state titles, plus two individual titles in the hurdles.
 
At WSU, he earned second-team indoor All-American honors in the 60-meter hurdles in 2021. He ranks second on WSU's career list in the 60 hurdles with a time of 7.79 seconds and sixth on the 110 hurdles. He is also a regular on the AAC Academic All-Conference list and the AD's Honor Roll.
