My thoughts on the current state of track and field in the United States 👇 MEETS CANCELLED IN 2025: USATF Bermuda Grand Prix USATF Los Angeles Grand Prix USATF NYC Grand Prix Edwin Moses Legends Meet Holloway Pro Classic Grand Slam Track Los Angeles • For the first time since 2018, the 100m finals at the USATF Championships won’t be on television but rather on USATF TV - a PPV service. • The American Track League has lost its Puma sponsorship. • Diamond League broadcasts (excluding Eugene) have been moved from NBC to FloTrack - another PPV service. While track and field may not ever be the most popular sport, it isn’t being given a chance to thrive in the United States because the people at the top, namely USATF, are making decisions that are negatively impacting the sport, and that’s an utter shame considering we’re just 1 year away from the USA hosting a World Junior Championship and just 3 years away from them hosting the Olympics. I’m not about to act like I know all the various business ins and outs, but if USATF and the others involved in that circle think that their current model is going to attract new fans, new sponsors, and inspire the next generation to take up track and field, then they’re seriously deluding themselves. It’s a sinking ship. And the saddest part about that? It won’t hurt those people in the high-up positions. It’ll hurt the athletes, the people who truly care about the sport the most, and it’ll have a massive ripple effect on further generations if things don’t turn around.

@miranda_to55425 @BarstoolWazzu This is a horrible take.

@BarstoolWazzu Not sure why people are complaining it’s either that or get rid of the football program.. which isn’t happening. Does anybody really give a shit about Track and field? There’s like 20 people there at an event.

WSU just cut all field events and is limiting sprints in track & field. Around 24 athletes (men & women) are left without events. Scholarships stay, but many may have to transfer. Cougs are going distance only. #RestinPeace

@KTVBhss @BradyFrederick_ You forgot Rosina Machu from Boise High School and running for Gonzaga! She’s in the 10k! Come on @BradyFrederick_ do your research.

@HeatherThomasAF Idaho is trying

Taking bets on which state will be first to cease public education.

P5 track & field coaches are mobilizing to protect the future of their sport against House settlement, citing roster limits, budget cuts, program eliminations, etc. This open letter to the track & field community is being circulated calling for immediate action.

“I want guys to run Track in the Spring. It’s hard to manufacture that level of competition. It’s You vs. the Clock. When you get out on the track and compete you’re going to get better.” - Chip Kelly

@ByRachelRoberts Great article @ByRachelRoberts ! Tracy’s retirement is well deserved

“When he told me he was retiring, I was like, ‘I legitimately thought you were going to die on the track,’ ” one former Mountain View runner said. Read more here: tinyurl.com/rbfzabfu #idpreps

If you are an athletic director, make sure you have a budget for your coaches to attend clinics. Pay for their hotel and transportation, and give them a per diem for meals. Coaching clinics are professional development that will help your coaches impact the kids in your school.

Boise Makes Most Of Long Trip, Sweeps Team Titles At Rose City Championship Invite @Doug_Binder 📰 dyestat.com/gprofile.php?m…

WHOA @BoiseBraveXCTF went to Oregon for the Rose City Championship this weekend, won both the girls and boys team titles and Jack Sheesley ran 14:36.8 for 3rd place. That's the fastest boys 5k on record in Idaho, besting Danny Simmons' 14:37 from 2021 RunningLane #idpreps #xc

For those who don’t know, Grant Fisher went back to being coached by his high school coach. I’d say it worked out quite well.

🗣️ “I have a pretty big engine. I used to run cross country. I put a lot of mileage in, a lot of stuff like that. So when I dropped down to an 800, 1500 runner before, and then I dropped down to the 400 and worked on foot speed and a lot of jumps, I always had the strength.” You know what they say: Strength = speed 🤷‍♂️ After winning the 400m Olympic title, @QuincyHall400 shares that he actually used to be a cross country runner before dropping down to the middle distance events, and ultimately, the sprints. 🎥 Full press conference: youtu.be/ZbfQIX2JbZU
