Try the fastest mark ever turned in by a collegian during the month of December: That’s what Brandon Miller of Texas A&M did in the 600 meters at the Wooo Pig Classic in Fayetteville, Arkansas. Oh, did we forget to mention that both Harding and Phillip won their respective division’s individual titles at the NCAA Cross Country Championships last month? Phillip took eighth in 13:58.42, which made him just the third man in NCAA Division III history to crack the 14-minute barrier on any indoor track.

Harding finished third in 13:41.78, which is the third fastest mark in NCAA Division II history, regardless of track size. Try two all-time divisional marks from the same race: Isaac Harding of Grand Valley State and Alex Phillip of John Carroll scorched the oversized oval at the GVSU Holiday Open in the Men’s 5000 Meters. That was also the fastest mark by a collegian over 5000 meters since 2012 (Lawi Lalang and Stephen Sambu at the NYRR Millrose Games). Kiptoo, who finished runner-up at the NCAA DI Cross Country Championships last month, took top collegiate honors in the elite section of the Men’s 5000 Meters at the Sharon Colyear-Danville Season Opener in 13:14.74 and moved up to No. Try becoming the third-fastest athlete in collegiate history: Wesley Kiptoo of Iowa State quickly established himself as the favorite over 5000 meters come March. Young went 13:22.59 to finish fifth in the elite section of the Men’s 5000 Meters to better his own American junior best that he set during the U.S. That also was faster than the previous all-time American junior best of 8:58.88 set by Elise Cranny of Stanford back in 2015. Tuohy ran faster than the current American junior record in the Women’s 3000 Meters when she crossed the finish line in 8:54.18 (Mary Cain holds the current ratified record at 9:04.51). Try running under an American junior record: Katelyn Tuohy of NC State and Nico Young of Northern Arizona rose to the occasion on Saturday afternoon at the Sharon Colyear-Danville Season Opener in Boston. The 2021-22 collegiate indoor track & field season got off to a quick start.įrom The USTFCCCA InfoZone: Meets & Results | Records & Lists They’re off and running (and jumping and throwing)!
