One of the most entertaining 1,600s I’ve seen in some time … KMc runs of Greenville and Anne-Catherine Brown of Cathedral Prep Track & Field were equals for almost 4 full laps, matching stride for stride and swapping the lead. McElhaney closed the best, going 5:01.19 to win. MileSplit Pennsylvania

Now that’s a bell!!! One to go in an 800 run heat at the PIAA District 10 meet! MileSplit Pennsylvania

Straight from (some of) the champs!! Check out my interviews with PIAA District 10 winners at shorturl.at/T2k45 on MileSplit Pennsylvania . All are headed to 🚢!!!

Super proud XC moments yesterday. Special congrats to Mario, Thomas, and Niko on Top 5% Senior Class. Very special congrats to Thomas Gaydos and Niko Kelly on being named valedictorian and salutatorian last night! XC kids work hard in and out of the classroom!

One last Backyard Recap in the ‘25 season before I jump on the Pike and head east to 🚢 for the PIAA finale. Reviewing districts 7 & 10 and diving into some participation numbers for this weekend. Good luck all! MileSplit Pennsylvania pa.milesplit.com/videos/761435/…

We are under way at Shippensburg for the PIAA track and field champs. First section of the girls AA 1,600 on the oval at Seth Grove Stadium. MileSplit Pennsylvania

Back for day 2 of the 2025 PIAA track and field championships. The weather is going to be better today. I know it is. I hope 🤞 it is. Please be better. 😃 MileSplit Pennsylvania

I’ve had the honor of sharing many remarkable stories in my career in 📰 and at MileSplit Pennsylvania … but how Jalen Cook went from track rookie to 7-3 in the high jump in a matter of weeks is almost unbelievable. Check out my take on this phenom Dallastown Athletics pa.milesplit.com/articles/37634…

#OHSAA TRACK AND FIELD: 90 years ago, Jesse Owens put together the greatest 45 minutes in track and field history. This weekend, the stadium that bears his name will again host the state tournament. Phil was there today during the final preparations. youtu.be/mbzZ_qtman8

The place to be on the first weekend in June … Jesse Owens Memorial 🏟️ at Ohio State Buckeyes 🌰 for the OHSAA Sports track and field championships. Final time for 3 divisions as next year the Buckeye state rolls with 5! Follow along with me on the NFHS Network at 9:30 am Friday

About ready to get this party started! Behind the scenes in the press box at Jesse Owens Memorial 🏟️ prior to day 1 of the OHSAA Sports track and field championships. Join us on the NFHS Network today and tomorrow. First race at 9:30 - girls 4x800 relay!

Can’t wait to dig into this ATM (All The Meat) pie at Brenz Pizza Co. . The staff generously upsized my personal pan model to this monster after an ordering miscue. My thanks. Great customer service and pizza. 🍕

Almost as large of a crowd outside the track as in the stands this afternoon at the OHSAA Sports track meet. Outstanding fan support! MileSplit Ohio

One of the finest human beings around and an Ohio track and field legend … Jessica Beard stopped up to talk about her career at Euclid High School , Texas A&M Track & Field/Cross Country and Team 🇺🇸 . Can’t say enough. MileSplit Ohio

Today is the birthday of Thomas Jefferson (middle), Olympic bronze medallist in 1984 and fourth at the World Indoor Championships in 1991 over 200m - PBs 20.21 (200m), 10.17 (100m), 31.73 (300m), 6.63 (60m)

Looks to me like bumper-to-bumper traffic on a pedestrian bridge over the Pennsylvania Turnpike for day 1 of the U.S. Open . Great day to be on the links ⛳️, watching or playing.

Sad to see continued downsizing/gutting of our sport. Hopefully we won’t shrug off the next story about another program with an “Oh, well.” They all don’t go pro ⁦NCAA⁩ but how many more won’t be able to go collegiate either. spokesman.com/stories/2025/j…

"My legs felt kind of heavy early. Then I began to feel very good. In fact, this was an easier race than the one at Berkeley last year." #OTD 1967, Jim Ryun (USA), 20, breaks his Mile WR, clocking 3:51.1 @ AAU Championships in Bakersfield, CA. ⏱️🌎#Legend bringbackthemile.com/news/detail/se…

#OTD, 60 yrs ago, in a thrilling race, Jim Ryun, 18, not only set the U.S. Mile record of 3:55.3 in San Diego, but also won the AAU title and beat 3 x Olympic champion Peter Snell and American Jim Grelle, who clocked 3:55.4 and 3:55.5.⏱️🇺🇸🎉🎉#Legend bringbackthemile.com/news/detail/mi…

A great start to a fantastic track and field day/weekend. Kicked it off with some 🎙️ work of the Wanda Diamond League men’s shot put and pole vault LIVE on FloTrack and now it’s the Women’s Decathlon World Champs at SPIRE Academy .
