AUBURN, Ala. - If you borrow Akeem Bloomfield's headphones on race day, you won't hear any of the current artists preferred by college students.
Big Sean, Bruno Mars, Beyoncé and Ben Rector are out. Beethoven is in.
"I listen to a lot of orchestral music," said Bloomfield, a sophomore All-American sprinter. "It really calms me down and relaxes my mind and gets me in the mood to practice and compete."
Akeem's go-to composer, Ramin Djawadi, created the music for "Iron Man," Game of Thrones," and Bloomfield's favorite score, "Pacific Rim."
