Just living the dream. Random notes and data from around the track universe

Took a few kids to Michigan HS Showcase this weekend. So proud of my boy for taking the mile. He thought he and another were going to take it out faster but had to pass and go it solo after 3 1/2 laps. Teammate took the 2 mile. @TrojanTrackAT @AthleticsAisd

Quick question for the Texas HS coaches out there... how are you feeling about the season so far? Especially with State (et al) being pushed forward a week and spring break around the corner for everyone...

Went to an indoor meet at Washburn in KS this weekend. HS, age group and masters... in the brief time I was there, the most impressive performances were the 71 yo female pole vaulter and the 75 yo man in the 800m. Made me feel like a real slacker. #goals


Eisa going to be DQ'd in this 2 Mile, right? She cut straight in. @MillroseGames @CitiusMag

Fantastic 600m by Brandon Miller in Albuquerque last night. 1:14.03 to beat Isaiah Harris by over a second. Came through in 48.66 and closed with a 25.48. Only Donavan Brazier (1:13.77) has ever run faster indoors.

I look forward to the book mentioned in this piece... Great stuff as usual, Brice

Best news on realignment: we will be back at the 6A/5A-Region III track meet next year! As the old song says: "If you can make it there, you can make it anywhere" 😉


I've seen some interesting outfits at track meets, but there was a kid at the @UMichTrack HS Meet this weekend who ran the 800m in a JJ McCarthy football jersey and a headband tied around his head.

It's meet week, Wolverines! 〽️

Any track coaches from Texas out there surprised Summer Creek is in the 6A state football finals? 😎


Hot Take: @footlocker XC needs more regional sites. Four doesn't cut it. Also makes Nationals a very small meet (40).


First off, running a 5k indoors is for insane people. Secondly, the times are unreal.

Want to qualify for the NCAA Division 1 Indoor Championship Meet in the 5000m? On the women’s side, the final qualifying time is 15:45. On the men’s side, it’s 13:31… …that’s after one single season opener meet in early December, with more than 3 months left in the season.



Seriously? If you are a HS track coach how could you pass up a chance to meet Coach Hart?

Coaches Leininger and Hart will be signing their new book on "Training the HS 400 Meter Runner" at the TTFCA 2024 Winter Clinic @AngryHalfMiler @TXMileSplit @jrichardsNORTH @gregwilliams_1 @TexasTrackDad @talex334

University of Michigan will again be hosting their HS Indoor Meet for those interested, January 21 in AA. This is the day after the Simmons-Harvey Invite (college meet).
