They should also have looked at Cross Country. When I was a freshman, EMU was 3rd at NCAAs (we - UofM were 8th). Incredible tradition in Track and XC at EMU
Love seeing Michigan dominating the B1G Mile!
Way to go, Trent.

Many pro basketball leagues around the world have a cap on how many internationals you can have on a team. NCAA XC would benefit from this. I'd like to limit a team to 3 internationals counting towards your score.
Just an incredible men's 1500m this weekend. So many things played out that I would never have dreamed were possible a couple of years ago. 3:32 prelims. Front running in the wind. Boxed guys looking out of it, then running 52s last laps from lane 2 in a 3:30 race. Nuts.
I think one major factor for the improved performances in distance running by the west, which I havent seen mentioned anywhere, is the significant reduction in partying by the athletes. In the past, only a small minority abstained. Now it's the vast majority.
Tonight we kick off Very Nice Track Club's first ever summer youth programming The next 7 Sundays from 6-7:30pm at Pioneer HS, 1st-8th graders will test themselves over a variety of run, jump, and throwing events. I'm coaching along with kids from the HS

Random but interesting track results last week:
Luis Alves of Mexico ran the exact same time in back to back meets in Canada
If someone like Habz can run 3:27.4 having to lead the last 500m, forget anyone going wire to wire for the win in Tokyo.
We're going to have 6 guys in 326-27 shape in the final. I predict Jakob skips the 15 this year, and Nuguse ends up leading after a messy 60s first lap

Track is America’s Opportunity Sport
It’s America’s cheapest & largest HS sport, providing the most accessible pathway to college
Due to the House settlement, many colleges will likely start cutting Olympic sports. We cannot let track be one of them

Russell continuing to fight for Track's survival as an NCAA sport. Bravo!
