Flashback Friday: Chris Solinsky breaks the American Record on his 10k debut!
A timeless throwback to one of the greatest performances in American history: Chris Solinsky, aka the newly announced Director of Cross-Country and Track and Field at @BadgerTrackXC , becoming the first American ever to run under 27-minutes (26:59.60) for the 10k back in 2010. 🕰️
American men with most Diamond League mid-d/distance victories
Yared Nuguse - 5
Donavan Brazier - 4
12 other guys tied - 1
Nuguse's consistency on the circuit over the last four years has been so impressive.
@jgault13 I would also say just a great deal (but not overwhelming) amount internationals in general. Had a Czech, South African, and now polish teammates. The Polish one is 23 and a freshman. D2 just has the ability to develop people on a more laxxed timeline. Love them!
On’s first professional Sprint Team is here.
Four founding members pave the way: Samirah Moody, Benjamin Azamati, Johnny Brackins and Max Thomas.
Off the blocks. Onto the global stage. OAC Sprint is ready.

@HankFrank I mean makes total sense, I see my state CA perfect to just not even leave, even SoCal alone has OC marathon and in NorCal CIM, lots of great halfs. I will be good. Even Steven Martinez ran 2:14 for an OTQ at OC marathon this past weekend
This Week’s Results You May Have Missed But Shouldn’t Sleep On 👀
“Hobbs Kessler: It probably won’t be enough to convince him to switch events, but it was cool to see the indoor world record holder at 2000m make his 5000m debut in Palo Alto.
Kessler’s 13:13 was only good enough for sixth place in his race, but for a guy who rarely runs more than an hour at a time, it was proof that rock climbing ability converts. (Liam Murphy won the race in 13:12 despite likely possessing comparatively poor grip strength.)
Until someone proves otherwise, it’s our belief that this is the fastest-ever 5000m debut by an American.”
