How laid back is Yared Nuguse? Before his 1500 final at the 2019 NCAA outdoor champs, his coaches found him asleep in the backseat of the rental car an hour before the race. He went out and won the title.
Had a chance to profile Yared for @ndmagazine☘️

We have a poetry post outside our house, where I put a new poem twice a month. Yesterday an anonymous "11 year old poet" wrote their own poem on the sidewalk next to the post— and it's awesome.
"Peace" ⬇️
Need more 11 year-old (and 25 yo and 80 yo) poets in the world. #poetry

The current poem in the post is this gem from @Joseph_Fasano_— which I love — but I fear it's been upstaged by chalk-auteur "11 year old poet."

🚨 U.S. HIGH SCHOOL 2-MILE RECORD 🚨
Teays Valley (OH) senior Katy Zang DOMINATES the Championship 2 Mile field at New Balance Nationals Indoor, breaking the tape in a new high school record of 9:37.15, 1.53 seconds off Mary Cain’s 13-year-old mark.
Zhang had an 11-second gap on the field at the halfway mark and never took her foot off the gas, as the Indiana commit ended up taking the win by over 15 seconds.

What strikes me most about this video isn't the technical brilliance, the soaring charisma or the sense of moment that Mondo possesses, though of course, all of that is true.
I'm struck by how beloved he is by his fellow vaulters.
His achievement is theirs. What a brotherhood.

🚨 MONDO DOES IT AGAIN! 6.31M! 🚨 With a first-time clearance at 6.31m, Mondo Duplantis sets the pole vault world record for the 15TH time in his career. This time, it comes at his own meet, the Mondo Classic in Uppsala, Sweden 🇸🇪

@AdamKedge Bottom 5 is a great concept— I think you nailed it @AdamKedge. I will say that my top 5 has probably shifted slightly as I've gotten into my 50s.

@LSscribe George and I worked on the student newspaper together at Notre Dame. Lots of late nights laying out agate by hand on light boards! He was good back then, too.

It is with heavy hearts that we mourn the passing of Ron Delany, one of the greatest Irish athletes of all-time, a 1956 Olympic gold medalist and one of the pillars of the @NovaAthletics track & field program. A true legend who will be always missed and never forgotten.

“This meet was kept secret and no one witnessed it but the young ladies of the university.”
Pole Vault Power@polevaultpower
I am forever obsessed with early 1900s women’s track & field results. At this 1905 meet, women competed in events that included the 880y, mile, pole vault and hammer. At 5am so that no male eyes could witness their efforts.

This is pretty cool: My dad Pat retired from coaching XC and T&F at @lschs in 2010. On Saturday, a group of guys from his last year coaching got together at the @ott_center to race a DMR— running as Devine Track Club —and broke 11 minutes! Solid running for guys in their 30s. 💪

@lschs @ott_center @boblongsports @lschsalumni Needless to say, the old coach was really proud of "his boys."
