@ZagRunning freshman Dylan Rowell from Anacortes was named to @tandfn HS All-America team for his accomplishments this past spring, which included being the second Washington HS'er to break 4 minutes in the mile! https://t.co/kiCqTkROB3
Most of these schools fall for the…
If we can just do this, make that league, get this coach, then we’ll make it…

Conversions are dead. ☠️
The NCAA Track and Field Committee has voted to eliminate altitude conversions (indoor and outdoor) and track size/indexing conversions (indoor) starting with the 2026-27 academic year.
Their reasoning came down to the fact that altitude affects every athlete differently, yet a uniform conversion gets applied; no conversions exist for heat or humidity and no other level of the sport uses them. They applied the same logic on track size since every track is different, there’s “no true science” behind the indexes, and access to 200m banked tracks is better than ever.
This will impact how distance athletes previously qualified when racing on the tracks at places like New Mexico, NAU, BYU, Colorado, etc. during the indoor season.
This is literally insane.
His PR was 13.01. He dropped 0.26 seconds in a sprint race to break the long standing world record by 0.05 seconds...in a prelim.
