Head Track and Field / Cross Country Coach - Lewis & Clark College. Learner. This is an unapologetically Athletics-filled account. And listen to @kexp! #YANA
I'll admit that I've been struggling as an American the past 18 months or so (wonder why??). So I've been at arms length from my excitement for the #USMNT. I told a friend yesterday that the only thing I was inspired by is Pochettino (#COYS!). But this half...wow! Simply perfect.
If we want track to survive in the NCAA, we need to go back to a more local model.
The flying across the country for qualifying model is going to lead to our demise.
We've got at least be closer to other sports, even given our team size differences.
Bad Bunny knows his platform. What a fantastic, virtuoso performance! Loved his celebration of Latin America, Puerto Rican culture, and his strong message of TOGETHERNESS! We are all humans, and we should all be able to live freely. #BadBunny
We cannot pretend anymore that there are simply "two sides that disagree." What we have on one side is empathy and human decency, and on the other side an example of sickening and despicable behavior. I'm appalled.
Voting matters, folks.
And Rob Reiner was a national treasure.
BREAKING: Trump’s DHS appointee just tried to claim “Antifa is our primary national threat.”
Bennie Thompson immediately hit him with the only question that matters:
THOMPSON: “Where is Antifa headquartered?”
GLASHEEN: “…we’re, uh… building out the infrastructure right now.”
THOMPSON: “What does that even mean?”
He tied himself in a knot on camera because the boogeyman doesn’t exist outside their talking points.
This is what happens when fear-mongering meets a real cross-examination.
Queen Sydney. Staggeringly good!
So impressed by her whole journey this season, taking the challenge of attacking a different event and foregoing a gold medal certainty. You love to see a great athlete find ways to stretch herself.
47.78, sheesh!
The Case Management Group (CMG) of World Athletics has suspended Mike Powell (USA) indefinitely for a Safeguarding Concern, following a referral by the AIU.
The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) has upheld two appeals by the Athletics Integrity Unit and by the World Anti-Doping Agency against USA athlete, Erriyon Knighton, following an Anti-Doping Rule Violation (ADRV).
Pat Murphy says Christian Yelich would "get a standing ovation every time out" if the fans knew how much burden and responsibility he feels from his contract and how he handles it as an influence on everyone else in the clubhouse.
GA ticket on Thursday, Day 1 was $45. Cheapest ticket available on the day with the fewest finals.
Empty.
Worlds 2023 in Budapest: Front row finish line - perhaps the best seat in the house - was $20 for the morning sessions. Every other ticket was cheaper.
PACKED.
I’m not here to be a Debbie downer. But this is sad.
This weekends USAs had so many crazy races.
And we get 6k people showing up.
We need more venues than middle of nowhere OR, and better marketing/ideas.
The athletes deserve it. They are putting on a show.
One of the happiest baseball moments of 2025 for me. Brandon Woodruff is one of a kind as a player and a person, a guy so special the Brewers signed him to a two year contract with no guarantee he’d be able to pitch again.
I think we can all agree it’s great to see him back.
