Nothing beats seeing a senior leader break a school record in their last individual race. Even better when its broken by .01.

@SaintLeoUniv Does this mean you’re still honoring the scholarships of the current student athletes? The athletes that decided your school was the best choice for them to continue their education over other institutions?

After informing our student-athletes about the changes, we would like to share this announcement with the Saint Leo community. saintleolions.com/news/2023/2/21…

Today, we want to tell our community about some operational changes that will help build a new vision for our university. Read more here: saintleo.edu/about/stories/…

The 🏆 moment! @abbysteiner1 wins @thebowerman!

And another time to mention how important academics are in recruiting. Athletes with excellent grades & test scores can receive academic scholarships as well as athletic. Make yourself as recruitable as possible by succeeding on & off the track

We have a lot of Ukrainians in my village in Ireland. Had a little girl and mum come in the charity shop I work in today. The little girl had €1 to spend. I was on the till. You wouldn’t believe how many toys, DVDs, books and jewellery you can buy in Ireland for €1.

@chardon_xc_tf @coachwhitman We’re lucky to live in a world of T&F and XC where watches and measuring tapes rarely lie. I suppose we see our athletes doing it more because it is the norm of the HS recruiting process. The “higher profile” sports athlete does it, so they think they need to as well.

@chardon_xc_tf @coachwhitman I think it is more applicable in sports like football & basketball where talent is subjective. There is only so much you can actually tell/rank from film without common opponents. If they publicize that someone is interested in them it may draw interest from other schools.

Why do athletes announce “commitments” and proceed to take more visits? Why “commit” if you’re actually still looking. Apply this to other areas of your life and let me know how that works out. Y’all just too blessed for me. 🤦‍♂️ #looseusageoftheterm

How many high schools can say they had TWO athletes on the same HS team that competed in the track World Championships this year? Congrats @Sade_olatoye & @abbysteiner1 What an accomplishment! Can’t wait to see what comes next for you both!

@abbysteiner1 @PUMARunning Beyond excited for you!

Today, the Supreme Court not only reversed nearly 50 years of precedent, it relegated the most intensely personal decision someone can make to the whims of politicians and ideologues—attacking the essential freedoms of millions of Americans.

@TrackCoachTG MANY hs coaches do not respond to college coaches’ requests for contact information when trying to recruit an athlete. Make yourself easy to find. Reach out to college coaches you’re interested in. Be open to D2. If you’re doing walk-on know the times of current athletes on team

Coaches — what are some other things high school kids should know if they want to compete collegiately? Reply 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼

HS track athletes: if you’re hoping to run at the next level, here are a few things to remember. 🧵

@TrackCoachTG Grades matter! You make yourself so much more recruitable as an athlete if your grades are up to par. As a teacher that knows how much educators bend over backward to help students Ds & Fs are red flags in recruiting.
