Deep down what do you really want?

@themidwestmiles on Instagram (for now)

The Midwest running scene and culture is something special, and there hasn’t been enough love for it.

Starting out with NCAA/NAIA for now. No desire to be defined as an outlet, just a dude who likes to run with a huge passion project.

Know me not for the titles that people saw me for, but for how I was shaped by the sport and its people.

Unvaulted something I had in the back pocket a long while now, 2 days since the first native post and almost at 100 with a lot of support from the homies.

2/2

In that time
- Joined up with NAIA_XCTF_Central which is made up of several NAIA runners carrying their division’s coverage + one more (unrelated)page that has reached out.
- Found out there’s actually a definitive list for the Midwest
- People offered to help with 📸

Every single one of her splits was a 37.xx or a 38.xx

Masterclass pacing

Another 5000m title, another record!

Jaynie Halterman of Taylor successfully defends her NAIA 5000m Indoor Title and also clocks the first sub-16 effort indoors for NAIA women at the NAIA Indoor Championships!

If the finals of the DMR reflect the prelims, she will be doubling back on the relay shortly 👀

The crew with fastest 800 squad in NCAA DII right now.

📍 GLVCs Day 1 @ U Indy

[david nguyen 📸✍️ 🎥 @dsnpics]

The same petition has signatures from national champions, national record holders, All-Americans, Power 4 athletes, alumni, and there are even (current) athletes that I’ve known since high school sign this…

[david nguyen 📸✍️ 🎥 @dsnpics]

This is the hottest topic in the NCAA right now and it’s not getting the attention it needs.

+ Emmanuel LeBlond started a petition for an investigation that now has 500+ signatures from XCTF athletes from all 3 NCAA divisions supporting him.

Devastating. Translation: the NCAA is the perfect place for dopers. This is a long-overdue article.

📹 Evan Horgan of Lewis U. sets a new GLVC Championship Record of 14:23.08 in the 5000m on Saturday night 🌕

Brendon Shea, Gabe Cates, Jack Roberts, Owen Thomas slip into the Top-10 for the Flyers. 🤠

📍 GLVCs Day 1 @ U Indy.

I wish I could’ve stayed for Day 2 😭

[david nguyen 📸✍️ 🎥 @dsnpics]

Without altitude conversions, @GVSUXCTF women and @UIndyTrack men now have the top 800 event squads in DII.

The 800 belongs to the Midwest

[david nguyen 📸✍️ 🎥 @dsnpics]

Gonna have to fact check myself after the rest of conferences are done but so far it’s looking like Penn State Men and Ashland Women are the only squads to sweep medals at their respective conferences.
